Former Turnstile guitarist Brady Ebert has been arrested for attempted murder after allegedly running over the father of frontman Brendan Yates with his car.
The Maryland Judiciary database lists a 33-year-old Brady O’Brien Ebert, of Silver Spring, Maryland, as facing a charge of attempted second degree murder, as well as assault in the first degree.
Ebert was an original member of Turnstile, which formed in Baltimore in 2010. He played the band’s first three albums, including 2021’s GLOW ON, which spawned the Grammy-nominated songs “HOLIDAY” and “BLACKOUT,” before parting ways with the group in 2022.
In a statement to ABC Audio, Turnstile says they “cut ties with Brady Ebert in 2022 in response to a consistent pattern of harmful behavior affecting himself, the band, and the community.”
“After exhausting every available resource to support his access to help and recovery, a boundary ultimately had to be set when healthy communication was no longer possible and he began threatening violence,” Turnstile says. “In the years since, his baseless tirades have continued in public. We never addressed it. We chose to protect his privacy and the circumstances around his departure, even when he did nothing to be deserving of that protection. Over the past few months, his threats only escalated further.”
“This past week, that violence led to a physical attack when Brady went to the house of Brendan’s parents and used his vehicle to run over Brendan’s father, causing severe physical trauma,” the statement continues. “We are grateful that Mr. Yates survived, has successfully undergone surgery, and we’re hoping for the best possible outcome in his recovery.”
Turnstile concludes, “We have no language left for Brady. Please respect our privacy in this time.”
Ebert’s listed attorney had no comment when contacted by ABC Audio.
