Federal, state and local authorities have arrested 227 people in western Oklahoma on outstanding warrants as part of an annual sweep known as Operation FALCON.
The U.S. Marshals Service coordinated the roundup from June 21-27, with officers from 22 agencies participating.
In similar efforts, marshals in Tulsa reported 350 arrests from June 2-7, while marshals in Muskogee arrested 290 fugitives from June 9-13.
U.S. Marshals Service Director John F. Clark says Operation FALCON is an example of what law enforcement agencies can accomplishment when resources are combined.
