| Kenneth Koonrad, 26, of Wilkes-Barre, and Michael Scavone, 44, of Harveys Lake, entered their pleas before Luzerne County Judge Tina Polachek Gartley. Koonrad, who pleaded guilty to corrupt organizations, possession with intent to deliver and criminal use of a communication facility, will be sentenced May 20. Scavone entered the plea to charges of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, criminal use of a communication facility and unrelated charges of operation of a watercraft with a high level of alcohol in his system and being incapable of safely operating a watercraft. He will also be sentenced May 20. The drug ring was busted when undercover agents on March 6, 2009, simultaneously raided the group’s clubhouse and a member’s home, as well as four other locations. Investigators said they made about 30 controlled cocaine purchases from several members beginning in July 2008. Thousands of calls were intercepted through court-authorized wiretaps that led agents to identify Anthony Manchio, of Wapwallopen, as the Outlaws’ main cocaine supplier. |
