Overview
- A Montgomery County grand jury, which returned charges Thursday, upgraded the case to attempted first-degree murder.
- Police and prosecutors say neighbor video, a police report, and medical records show he drove into 79-year-old William Yates, causing severe leg trauma that required surgery.
- Ebert, 33, is held without bail at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility and is due in court May 8 for a scheduling conference.
- He has claimed innocence, telling a court commissioner the incident was pure self-defense and that video will exonerate him.
- Yates is the father of singer Brendan Yates, and Turnstile says it cut ties with Ebert in 2022 over a pattern of harmful behavior.
