US Marshals Injured After Deck Collapses While Serving Warrant
Five officers were hospitalized with broken bones, muscle tears and concussions after the wooden balcony collapsed during a warrant operation, officials said.
- On July 21, a second-story deck in Huntsville, Missouri, collapsed under a federal task force, sending nine officers crashing to the ground as they approached the apartment of Jacob Alexander Munoz to serve a warrant.
- The team was serving warrants as part of Operation Adam and Watch, targeting sex offenders who failed to register addresses with law enforcement, and had processed a list of 30 warrants before arriving at the apartment.
- Five members of the task force, comprising Marshals and Randolph County Sheriff deputies, were hospitalized with broken bones, muscle tears, and concussions. Munoz was not home at the time but later turned himself in.
- Marshals Assistant Chief James Tapp noted "there was no accidental discharge of any firearms," crediting the officers' training and discipline. Steven Lewis, the US marshal for the Eastern District, called the lack of serious injuries "a miracle."
- Bodycam footage obtained by NBC News documents the structural failure, demonstrating how officers handled the unexpected collapse with discipline. The incident underscores the unforeseen hazards law enforcement faces during routine warrant service.
