A Nebraska man and a Maryland man who planned to firebomb a small-town Nebraska pharmacy to benefit their black market drug dealing have pleaded guilty to federal charges.

Hyrum T. Wilson, 41, of Auburn, Nebraska, and William Burgamy IV, 32, of Maryland, both appeared Friday in federal court in Virginia.

Each pleaded guilty to conspiracy to use explosives, conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and money laundering. Burgamy also pleaded guilty to a firearms charge.

The men will be sentenced Nov. 20. Each faces a maximum of 20 years in prison on each count.



Hyrum Family Value Pharmacy, located at 2115 14th St. in Auburn, Nebraska, closed in April after the owner, Hyrum Wilson, was arrested in a plot to blow up a competing pharmacy.
