Teen who escaped BCSO custody in February arrested

A six-month manhunt for a teenager charged with slipping away from deputies is finally over.

SAN ANTONIO — Zachariah Bostic was re-captured over the weekend. The 17-year-old was first put in custody in February after officers found marijuana and cocaine during a traffic stop on the west side of San Antonio.

Deputies say while they were waiting for a tow truck, Bostic slipped out of the squad car. He then ran off into the trees nearby while still in handcuffs, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.
