Maya Donnelly just assumed thunder had woke her up on the morning of September 8, and thinking it was a storm, went back to sleep.<\/p>\n

But it turns out it hadn’t been just any storm. Later that morning, when she looked at the carport of her Nogales home, near the U.S. – Mexico border, she saw pieces of wood on the ground and a large bundle wrapped in black plastic.<\/p>\n

The package, which was sitting on top of the family dog\u2019s house, contained about 26 pounds of marijuana, which authorities estimated to be worth $10,000.<\/p>\n

Because she lives near the border, she assumed that it was likely dropped by a drug smuggler\u2019s airplane.<\/p>\n

She called her husband, and he told her to call 911.<\/p>\n

Nogales Police Chief Derek Arnson said he had never seen a load of drugs hit a building before.<\/p>\n

“Someone definitely made a mistake, and who knows what the outcome of that mistake might be for them,” Arnson said.<\/p>\n

Police are uncertain as to whether bundle was transported by plane or a pilotless drone.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, because of where the bundle landed on the house, no one was injured. However, the Donnellys will have to pay for about $500 in repairs, plus pay for a new dog house for their German Shepard, Hulk.<\/p>\n
