A judge has revoked bond for the 16-year-old charged in the crash that killed Auburn announcer Rod Bramblett and his wife, Paula.

Lee County District Attorney Brandon Hughes last week sought the bond revocation, citing continued reckless driving behavior by Johnston Edward Taylor. The teen is charged with manslaughter in the May 25 deaths of the Brambletts.

At a 9 a.m. Wednesday hearing, Judge Russell Bush revoked the teen’s bond. Taylor’s lawyer, Tommy Spina, said the teen will be held in the Lee County Detention Facility until Monday at which time he will be transported by deputies to a treatment facility. His driver’s license has been surrendered to Spina for safe keeping.

"I believe the judge’s ruling, in light of all the facts and circumstances, to be fair and balanced,'' Spina said following the hearing. “It is hoped that my client will benefit from the opportunity that he’s been given to show his actions do not define the person that he is.”

At the time of the deadly crash, Taylor was driving 89 mph, under the influence of marijuana, and still accelerating, authorities said, when he rammed into the back of the couple’s SUV.

Since then, Hughes said, Taylor was cited by Auburn police on Nov. 24 for driving 68 mph in a 45-mph zone on South College Street near the intersection of South Donahue Drive. That incident happened at 7:20 a.m. and “the officer observed the defendant accelerating rapidly,” the prosecutor wrote. According to a police report, Taylor told the officer he was sorry and he was speeding because his girlfriend was having an anxiety attack. Taylor told the officer he was the person who “accidentally crashed into the Brambletts. ”Taylor thanked me for writing him a citation and was released from the scene."

The following day, on Nov. 25, Taylor was cited by Auburn police for speeding and reckless driving. The teen was observed driving 62 mph in a 35-mph zone on Annaleu Drive near Burke Place. He was also seen spinning tires and fishtailing into an oncoming lane of travel. That incident happened at 9:25 a.m. During the traffic stop, Hughes noted, the officer smelled marijuana in the vehicle and found marijuana residue. "The driver appeared nervous because his hand was shaking,'' an officer wrote. “The passenger had a hoodie pulled over his head and would not make eye contact with me.”

"The driver stated he was sorry and his paddle shifter had slipped,'' according to the officer.

The officer told Taylor he smelled marijuana and Taylor told them he had not smoked marijuana since May. Officers found empty cigar packets and “shake,” small pieces of marijuana, on the floorboard. Taylor told officers that he had hit a cat with the vehicle and “it was nasty” and he was trying to get it out from the undercarriage. “Taylor asked if officers wanted to see it, and we declined,’’ an officer wrote.

It was just after 6 p.m. on Saturday, May 25, when the Brambletts were killed. Taylor -- then a Lee Scott Academy student -- was traveling southbound in the outside lane on Shug Jordan Parkway approaching West Samford Avenue in his Jeep Laredo.

The Brambletts, in a 2017 Toyota Highlander, were stopped in the southbound outside lane of Shug Jordan parkway at a traffic light. The Jeep struck the Bramblett’s SUV to the right of center, according to the crash report. The impact caused the Jeep to hit a pedestrian crossing signal and a traffic light pole before coming to a final rest.

The Bramblett’s vehicle was pushed into the intersection and through the opposing lanes of traffic before coming to a final rest on the curb.

Johnston Edward Taylor’s "blood sample contained THC, which is the primary psychoactive component of marijuana, and is indicative of recent usage of marijuana at the time of the collision,” records state. The teen was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

Paula Bramblett, 53, was airlifted from the scene but had to be diverted to East Alabama Medical Center due to the severity of her injuries. She was pronounced dead in the emergency room from multiple internal injuries.

Rod Bramblett, 52 and the driver of the Highlander, was airlifted to UAB Hospital in Birmingham, where he later died from a closed head injury.

Taylor in July was arrested on two manslaughter charges. He later was released on $50,000 bond.
