Ex-Turnstile Guitarist Held Without Bond in Alleged Car Attack on Singer’s Father

Police say surveillance video captured the collision, with a May 1 hearing scheduled.

Overview

  • Ebert, 33, was arrested Tuesday on charges of attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault, according to Montgomery County police.
  • Police say Sunday’s incident at a Silver Spring home left 79-year-old William Yates with serious leg injuries after a car struck him.
  • Detectives cite surveillance footage of the hit-and-run and an unoccupied Buick with front-end damage that was found nearby.
  • Turnstile identified the victim as frontman Brendan Yates’ father and said he underwent surgery and is now recovering.
  • Ebert’s custody follows years of conflict since his 2022 exit from the band, including denied peace-order attempts and his later removal from a new group.
