  "summary": "Dramatic body camera footage captured nine U.S. Marshals Service officers falling to the ground as a second-story wooden deck they were standing on suddenly collapsed while attempting to make an arrest. The incident occurred on July 21 in Huntsville, Missouri, where the officers were serving a warrant for a 26-year-old man accused of failing to register as a sex offender. The Randolph County Sheriff’s Department stated that the task force consisted of members from their office, the Moberly Police Department, and the North Missouri Drug Task Force. Seven officers were treated and released from the hospital for injuries considered \"consistent with a pretty serious fall,\" including broken bones. The individual sought by law enforcement was subsequently taken into custody later that day.",
