On March 31, 2026, Ebert was arrested after allegedly running over 78-year-old William Yates, the father of fellow musician Brendan Yates, at approximately 4:41 PM. The incident has left the local community in shock, particularly as it involves a family member of a prominent figure in the music scene. William Yates survived the ordeal but required surgery, highlighting the severity of the situation.

Ebert, 33, made his first court appearance on April 1, 2026, where he was charged with second-degree attempted murder and first-degree assault. He is currently being held without bond. The court proceedings have drawn significant attention, not only due to the nature of the charges but also because of Ebert’s previous affiliation with Turnstile, a band that recently won two Grammys for their album “Never Enough” in 2026.

In a further twist, Ebert’s relationship with Turnstile has been strained since 2022 when the band cut ties with him due to harmful behavior. This decision came after years of collaboration, as Ebert co-founded the band in 2010 and contributed significantly to its rise in the music industry. Following his departure from Turnstile, he attempted to forge a new path with another band, The S.E.T., but was dismissed in February 2026, just weeks before the incident.

As the investigation unfolds, details surrounding the argument that preceded the incident remain unclear. The circumstances leading to Ebert’s alleged actions are still under scrutiny. In a statement from The S.E.T., they confirmed, “Brady is no longer a member of THE S.E.T.,” further distancing themselves from the controversy.

Turnstile’s statement also included a plea for privacy: “Please respect our privacy in this time.” This request underscores the emotional turmoil faced by the band and its members as they navigate the fallout from Ebert’s actions. The music community is left grappling with the implications of this incident, which has cast a shadow over the band’s recent successes.

As the legal proceedings continue, a preliminary hearing is set for May 1, 2026. The judge denied a restraining order that was sought in connection with the case, indicating that the requirements were not met. The outcome of this hearing could provide further clarity on the situation and the future of Ebert, who has now become a controversial figure in the music industry.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the specifics of the altercation between Ebert and William Yates, but the ramifications of this incident are likely to resonate throughout the music world for some time. With the band Turnstile’s reputation at stake and Ebert facing severe legal consequences, the coming weeks will be critical in determining the next steps for all parties involved.
