The cash machine in Houston was shut down and was temporarily guarded by Harris County sheriff’s deputies after Sunday night’s incident.

They notified Bank of America who released a statement saying a vendor incorrectly loaded $100 bills in place of $10 bills.

Bank of America also says customers will be able to keep the additional dispensed money.
