(KLZA)-- Sentencing will be in November for two men charged in connection with a plot to blow up an Auburn, Nebraska pharmacy.

32-year-old William Burgamy of Hanover, Maryland and 41-year-old Hyrum Wilson of Auburn, entered guilty pleas to federal charges in Virginia.

Hyrum Wilson owned the Hyrum Family Value Pharmacy in Auburn and admitted to conspiring to blow up a competing pharmacy in Auburn in order to gain more business and enable him to illegally funnel a larger amount of drugs to the darknet operation he and Burgamy were involved in.

Wilson was arrested in April for developing the scheme to break into and steal a supply of opiates and firebomb the other pharmacy.

Both men plead guilty to drug trafficking conspiracy, money laundering and conspiracy to use explosives. Burgamy also entered a guilty plea to a firearms charge.

Burgamy has agreed to forfeit at least $300,000 in proceeds. It is believed that he had gross sales of more than $1 million.

Each count is punishable by a maximum term of 20 years in prison.
