Bostic was arrested for cocaine possession around 3 a.m. but ran off in handcuffs. Sgt. Elizabeth Gonzalez, a BCSO spokeswoman, didn't have details on how Bostic managed to escape.
Tovar is believed to have picked Bostic up from the area and took him to a house in West Bexar County, Gonzalez said. Hernandez met Tovar and Bostic at the home before they cut Bostic's cuffs and took him to another location.
Tovar is believed to be Bostic's friend.
Bostic is still on the loose and is wanted on warrants for escape, assault on a public servant and possession of dangerous drugs.
