BRADY Ebert, the former guitarist with hardcore punk outfit Turnstile, has been charged with trying to kill the father of the band’s singer.

Montgomery, Maryland police have arrested 33-year-old Ebert alleging he deliberately drive his car at 78-year-old William Yates – also his neighbour – who is the father of the band’s singer Brendon.

The incident occured on March 29 and left Yates snr with “serious injuries” including a broken leg. Ebert was charged with attempted second degree murder and first degree assault.

The police said the incident was captured on closed circuit TV. Ebert was remanded in custody pending a preliminary hearing on May 1.

The band subsequently issued a statement which read: “Turnstile 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.

“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. We are grateful that Mr Yates survived, has successfully undergone surgery,and we’re hoping for the best possible outcome in his recovery.

“We have no language left for Brady. Please respect our privacy in this time.”
