A woman in Southeast D.C. was shocked to find that she had received an express mail package containing over nine pounds of marijuana.

According to D.C.-based ABC affiliate WJLA, the woman, whose identity is being withheld to protect her, said her name was not on the package, though it contained the correct address. After signing for the package and opening it, she was surprised by the contents. "I said, 'what is this?'" she told WJLA.

The package—which someone paid $85 to ship—contained bags of marijuana inside of multiple plastic containers. After contacting the U.S. Postal Inspector and the Metropolitan Police Department, the marijuana was removed from her home and Delmario Henry, 24, was arrested.

Henry currently faces two drug charges.
