A jury from St. Louis was selected Monday and brought down for the trial, which is expected to last three days. Tipler was arrested in May 2003 after investigations by the Missouri State Highway Patrol. He faces charges of felony stealing, tampering with evidence, forgery, possession of a defaced firearm, patronizing prostitution and other charges.
