HUNTSVILLE, Mo. (KQTV) -- Body cam video shows footage of a deck collapse in Huntsville, Missouri, last month.

The U.S. Marshals Service task force was outside an apartment to serve a warrant on a man who failed to register as a sex offender.

The second-level deck then collapsed, appearing to buckle under the weight.

There were injuries, but none were life-threatening. The sex offender wasn't home at the time, but he was taken into custody the same day.
