Turnstile Guitarist Charged in Hit-and-Run

0:00It's April 2, I'm Cory with the story. This is Music News Today, driven by AI and Bill for the Culture. A new police report out of Montgomery County, Maryland shines light on former Turnstile guitarist Brady Ebert's attempted second-degree murder, charge. On March 29, he allegedly struck his 78-year-old neighbor in the guy's driveway with his 2001 Buick, then peeled out, without calling 911 or offering any help. The victim, William Yates' father of Turnstile singer, Brendan Yates, suffered severe injuries like a broken leg and needed surgery, but he's pulling through. Cops found Ebert's damaged car, abandoned nearby, and home surveillance sealed it as a hidden run. Turnstile parted ways with Everback in 2022 over a pattern of harmful actions and threats that kept escalating. In their statement today, they called out the attack on Brendan's dad as the tragic endpoint, saying they've got no words left for him while wishing. Yates a full recovery.

1:00Ebert got napped the next day, March 31, at 103 p.m. in his own neighborhood and is locked up without bond. He's also facing first-degree assault, both felonies carrying up to 30 and 25 years max. Corts got a preliminary hearing lined up from May 1 at 9.30 a.m. with his public defender pushing for a speedy trial, bail details still, pending as this unfolds.
