Moment deck collapses beneath officers serving s£x offender arrest warrant (video)

Members of a U.S. Marshals task force surrounding the Missouri home of a convicted sx offender were suddenly thrown to the ground when the elevated deck beneath them collapsed as they attempted to serve a warrant. Newly-released bodycam footage shows officers gathered on the deck at the rear of the home when it suddenly gave way, sending several members of the task force tumbling to the ground below.  The subject of the warrant, Jacob Alexander Munoz, 26, was taken into custody later that day, the U.S. Marshals Service said.  Jacob Alexander Munoz The Marshals Service said those injured in the collapse are doing well, though some face a longer recovery and could experience lasting effects. “We expect some long-term effects of this incident for a couple of our TFOs [task force officers] and DUSMs [deputy U.S. Marshals] but nothing that will keep them from continuing the mission of the USMS,” the agency said. The Randolph County Sheriffs Office obtained a state warrant in June or July after Munoz, who had been registering as a sx offender following his release, allegedly stopped complying with the terms and conditions of his release, according to the Marshals Service. The Missouri State Highway Patrol Sex Offender Registry currently lists Munoz as a Tier 1 sx offender. His most recent offense is listed as possession of child pornography involving more than 20 images or one film or video. The registry lists the offense date as March 16, 2020, when Munoz was 20 years old, and identifies the victim as a girl between the ages of 9 and 13. The offense occurred in Randolph County, Missouri.Munoz was convicted in 2022, according to the Marshals Service. Local police had seen multiple guns inside Munozs home during an earlier search in 2020, the Marshals Service said. That search was conducted to seize electronic devices and led to the charges that resulted in Munozs 2022 conviction, according to the agency. The task force was serving the warrant as part of Operation Adams Watch, a nationwide U.S. Marshals effort targeting fugitives whose original charges involved sx crimes. See video below.  Unexpected hazards can arise at any moment during an enforcement operation.
