• A new version of the Nigerian Pigeon Drop/419 scam! Two Liberian men told a worker at Station Check Cashing they needed $200,000 to clean the black goo they smeared over money in order to smuggled it into the U.S. For a reward, he’d get his 200 grand back and some extra cash. Of course, it was a scam and the men were arrested in a sting operation. [Bucks County Courier Times]

• It’s unclear why the two people executed in a car in a Mantua parking lot were actually there to begin with. Apparently, the man got into an argument and was shot and killed, and the 65-year-old woman was shot for witnessing the killing. Yeesh. [Daily News]

• A Pittsburgh man sent a severed kitten head to his ex-girlfriend — in a gift box! — because the relationship ended. Aww, isn’t it cute when couples try to make up? [AP/NBC 10]

• A police officer was injured by a drunk driver last night but is expected to be okay. Basically, if you like car crash porn, the video on the Action News website will totally be your bag. [6 ABC]
