Credit union officials said yesterday the money isn’t theirs, but was inside a bag with their cash carrier’s name on it, Miracle Delivery.

The member was pulling up to the drive-thru ATM when she drove over the bag, according to police. When she stopped to check out what she had driven over she realized it was a bag of cash with the amount written on the outside–$120,000.

So she took it to police and turned it in. "I just felt somebody dropped it, and they were going to be in trouble as a result of it," the member, identified as Letty Armendariz, said.

An official at Miracle Delivery, located in El Paso, said yesterday they did not know about the cash bag.
