Prosecutor Sandra R. Beckner said at the plea hearing that the government could show that, in September 2007, DEA agents and Pawtucket police got search warrants for apartments on Denver and Prospect streets in Pawtucket. While agents were doing surveillance outside the Denver Street apartment, Falcon left in his car, spotted the surveillance and tried to flee. Agents stopped the car, detained Falcon and a passenger, and found about seven grams of cocaine in the passenger compartment, and a loaded .22 caliber pistol in the trunk.

In the Denver Street apartment, agents found two bags containing about two ounces of cocaine, a scale and a safe. Agents found in the safe a loaded .45 caliber pistol and $17,000. In the Prospect Street residence, which Falcon owned, agents found 565 grams of cocaine in a kitchen drawer. The total cocaine seized was about 627 grams. Falcon told agents he had been selling cocaine at a rate of about 100 grams per week for the past year.

Lisi sentenced Falcon to 97 months in prison for two drug-trafficking offenses and being a felon in possession of a firearm, and another 60 months for possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug-trafficking offense.
