When Gary Stephany returned to his North Side home June 17, he made it to the top of the driveway before he saw about a dozen law enforcement officers awaiting his arrival.

They were at his Tiffany Street home to serve four arrest warrants on him from three counties.

According to U.S. Marshal Thomas M. Fitzgerald, Mr. Stephany was so desperate to elude arrest he slammed his car in reverse "Dukes of Hazzard" style and raced down the driveway.

His efforts were too late, though, as another police car had already been moved into position to act as a blocker.

Mr. Stephany rammed his car into that one and was taken into custody.

He was among 107 people arrested during the weeklong effort known as Operation FALCON that ended Saturday in Western Pennsylvania.

The federal enforcement program included about 120 officers from 41 local, state and federal police agencies.

Among those arrested were two homicide suspects, seven sex offenders, three gang members and 24 people accused of drug crimes.

In addition, officers seized $70,000 in cash, 153 stamp bags of heroin and 100 grams of crack cocaine.

In one instance, FALCON team members arrested a man wanted for a Hill District shooting within a day of receiving the request for help.

Timothy Williams, 39, of Manchester, was wanted by Pittsburgh police for the shooting death of Kenneth Woods on June 16 on Bentley Drive. The task force members developed information that Mr. Williams was at a home in the 1100 block of Ninth Street in Stowe. He was arrested by the FALCON team on Friday without incident.

Operation FALCON -- which stands for Federal and Local Cops Organized Nationally -- is the fifth such effort to capture felons, including violent fugitives and unregistered sex offenders. The previous sweep, FALCON 2007, which ran from June to September of that year, targeted 27 cities with elevated crime levels.
