Overview
- Bodycam footage obtained by NBC News shows a second-story wooden deck detach and collapse under a joint U.S. Marshals and Randolph County task force, sending nine officers several feet to the ground.
- Five officers were hospitalized with injuries that authorities described as broken bones, torn muscles, and concussions, while four other team members suffered lesser injuries.
- The operation was part of Operation Adam’s Watch, a multiweek effort serving roughly 30 warrants for convicted sex offenders who failed to register addresses.
- The resident, 26-year-old Jacob Alexander Munoz, was not at the apartment when the deck collapsed and later surrendered to authorities.
- U.S. Marshals leaders credited training and discipline for preventing any accidental firearm discharges and the incident has prompted scrutiny of structural safety and officer protocols for serving residential warrants.
