Overview
- Brady Ebert remains in custody on attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault charges, with a preliminary hearing set for May 1.
- Police reports and described surveillance footage say Ebert drove to the Yates home, honked and yelled, then struck 79-year-old William Yates with his car.
- A police report says William Yates threw a rock at Ebert’s vehicle before the impact, and officers say Ebert later told the victim he “deserved it.”
- Ebert told a court commissioner the incident was “pure self-defense” and said video of the encounter will contradict law enforcement’s account.
- Audio from 2022 court hearings shows Turnstile members sought peace orders after threats and alleged stalking near the Yates home, but a judge denied final orders for lack of recent acted-on threats.
