GREEN BAY, Wis. -- For holiday shoppers with dwindling funds, it must have seemed like a Christmas miracle -- an automated teller machine spewing free cash by the fistful.
The malfunctioning ATM at a Green Bay mall gave extra money to any takers, said police Lt. Bill Galvin.
Two women using the machine notified police Sunday when they got more cash than they requested -- in the case of one of the women, $500 more. Both turned the extra cash over to police.
An officer stood guard at the machine until its owner, US Bank, could dispatch a technician.
