The teen driver behind the wheel in the crash that killed Auburn announcer Rod Bramblett and his wife has gotten two speeding tickets and one reckless driving citation since the deadly accident seven months ago.

Johnston Edward Taylor, the 16-year-old charged with manslaughter in the Bramblett’s deaths, “continues to engage in this same reckless driving behavior,’’ Lee County District Attorney Brandon Hughes wrote in court documents made public Friday. Taylor was driving 89 mph, under the influence of marijuana, and still accelerating, authorities said, when he rammed into the back of the Bramblett’s SUV on May 25.

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.

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 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.

Hughes is asking that Taylor bond be revoked, citing the recent tickets. A judge has not yet ruled on the district attorney’s request.

Taylor’s attorney, Tommy Spina, said he is saddened and disappointed in his client’s behavior that led to Hughes’ request. "I was unaware of the driving violations until today when I saw the state’s filing,'' Spina said. “There are no excuses or blame shifting that would condone this behavior.”

"I believe the DA is doing exactly what he should do under the circumstances,'' Spina said. “I obviously represent a very troubled young man who desperately needs help navigating his journey through life.”
