SAN ANTONIO – The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office said a man found guilty of attempted capital murder is back in custody after fleeing from deputies on Thursday night.

Deputies said they were attempting to load the suspect, identified as 31-year-old Antoine Foster, into a transport vehicle from the Bexar County Justice Center.

While being loaded into the vehicle, the sheriff’s office said Foster jumped out of the vehicle, hit a deputy and fled on foot.

Several BCSO units were dispatched to the area near the San Antonio River. The deputies found Foster and took him back into custody around 5:45 p.m.

The sheriff’s office said it plans to add escape, evading on foot and assaulting a public servant charges for Foster.

In July 2020, court records show that Foster was arrested and charged with attempted capital murder of a police officer and aggravated assault against a public servant. Both charges are considered first-degree felonies.

Before his Thursday escape, records also show that Foster was found guilty of the attempted capital murder charge earlier Thursday. A jury then sentenced him to life in prison, according to court records.
