Overview
- Prosecutors said Monday that Bradley Rein violated probation tied to an alcohol-monitoring bracelet and a judge ordered him held without bail for 90 days.
- Rein remains charged with second-degree murder and motor vehicle homicide and has pleaded not guilty; his trial is scheduled to begin January 19, 2027.
- Court filings and prosecutors say the probation violation followed a failed alcohol test and capped a history of monitoring failures that earlier led to GPS bracelet outages and prior revocations of bail.
- The underlying crash occurred on November 21, 2022, when a 2019 Toyota 4Runner drove through the front of the Hingham Apple Store, killing 65-year-old Kevin Bradley and injuring about 22 people.
- Rein has told police his foot became stuck on the accelerator and toxicology found no alcohol or illegal drugs, but prosecutors say he never applied the brake and say continued noncompliance with monitoring justifies tighter custody; his next court date is October 14.
