A man from Washington, who is wanted for stabbing an 18-year-old at a bus station near Joplin, Missouri, was arrested in Queens, New York, last week. According to the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office, 47-year-old David Bostic was apprehended on September 5 by U.S. Marshals and will be extradited to Missouri soon. Bostic faces charges of first-degree assault and armed criminal action.
The incident occurred on January 11 of this year when Jasper County deputies responded to an assault at a bus station in Duenweg. Authorities reported that an 18-year-old from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, was stabbed in the neck. The injury was life-threatening as it severed his jugular vein, but the teenager was released from the hospital six days later.
In July, Jasper County investigators identified the suspect as David Bostic, who has a history of violence and connections to Missouri, Utah, Washington, Arkansas, and New York. According to court records, the teenager informed investigators that he did not know Bostic and was merely waiting for the next bus out of town when the confrontation occurred.
