U-S MARSHALS AND OTHER LAWMEN HAVE ARRESTED 117 FUGITIVES IN OPERATION FALCON, A MOVE TO MAKE MISSISSIPPI SAFER. U-S ATTORNEY JIM GREENLEE MADE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT AT A NEWS CONFERENCE THIS MORNING IN OXFORD. FROM GANG MEMBERS TO SEX OFFENDERS, MORE THAN 100 FUGITIVES ARE OFF THE STREETS IN THE NORTHERN DISTRICT, WHICH COVERS 37 COUNTIES, INCLUDING THE DELTA. OPERATION FALCON WORKED WITH AGENTS FROM FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES. FIVE DAYS OF TARGETING VIOLENT FUGITIVES NETTED MORE THAN HALF OF THEM RIGHT HERE IN THE DELTA. ONCE AGAIN, ABC SIX NEWS CAMERAS WENT ALONG FOR THE RIDE.  IN TWO WEEKS, REPORTER TANYA CARTER WILL HAVE ALL THE HITS AND MISSES AS THE U-S MARSHALS PULL EVERY TRICK IN THE BOOK TO TAKE THE WORST CRIMINALS OFF THE STREETS.
