Former Turnstile guitarist Brady Ebert is facing grave legal charges following a violent incident in Silver Spring, Maryland. On March 29, Ebert allegedly used his vehicle to strike William Yates, the 79-year-old father of Turnstile frontman Brendan Yates. Local authorities arrested Ebert on March 31, and he is currently being held without bond at the Montgomery County Detention Center.

According to court documents cited by CBS News Baltimore and The Guardian, Ebert has been charged with attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault. This development follows years of documented friction between the guitarist and his former bandmates. Turnstile officially parted ways with Ebert in August 2022, at which time the band stated they wished him "nothing but the best moving forward."

The Baltimore-based hardcore band had previously dealt with internal legal conflict involving Ebert. Shortly before his departure from the group, drummer Daniel Fang filed a peace order against the guitarist, though that specific petition was eventually dismissed. On April 2, 2026, representatives for Turnstile released a formal statement detailing the assault and confirming William Yates had successfully undergone surgery and was recovering, citing a "consistent pattern of harmful behavior."
