Washington man identified as suspect in violent Missouri bus station assault

JASPER COUNTY, Mo. — A suspect in a bus station assault incident from earlier this year has been identified, and issued a warrant, according to the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office.

Jasper County Detectives say they have identified the man seen on surveillance camera footage back in January (below) as David Bostic, 47, of Bellevue, Washington. A warrant for his arrest was issued on a first-degree assault charge.

The victim in the assault, an 18-year-old man from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma suffered severe injuries including a stab wound to his neck. He was treated and released from the hospital almost a week later.

Anyone with information on Bostic is asked to contact the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office or their local law enforcement agency immediately. He is considered armed and dangerous and allegedly has ties to multiple states including Missouri, Utah, Washington, Arkansas, and New York.
