Judge Orders Competency Evaluation for Former Turnstile Guitarist in Alleged Car-Strike Case
The judge cited competency concerns as Ebert denied the police account and said he would press charges against officers, prosecutors and defense lawyers.
- Circuit Judge Eric Johnson ordered former Turnstile guitarist Brady Ebert to undergo a competency evaluation, determining his mental capacity to understand attempted murder charges stemming from a March incident involving 79-year-old William Yates.
- According to charging documents, Ebert drove his 2001 Buick LeSabre into William Yates on Timberlake Drive in Silver Spring. William Yates told detectives Ebert had harassed his family since the guitarist's 2022 departure from Turnstile.
- During the Montgomery County Circuit Court hearing, Ebert disputed his lawyer Mark Sobel's concerns regarding his competency. Ebert claimed he was "perfectly competent" and that "every part of the police report is a lie."
- Turnstile previously issued a statement regarding Ebert's "baseless tirades" and escalating threats since cutting ties in 2022. The band noted, "Over the past few months, his threats only escalated further," preceding the recent physical attack.
- Facing a potential life sentence, Ebert remains in the Montgomery County Correctional Facility without bail. His next hearing is scheduled for September 22, with a trial date set for October 5.
