Khalil Faulkner, 28, was taken into custody Monday morning on a bench warrant for a probation violation and active arrest warrants in Pittsburgh involving gun and drug charges.<\/p>\n

Allegheny County Sheriff\u2019s Office detectives developed information that Faulkner was staying inside a residence along East James Street in Homestead.
