WILKES-BARRE – Two more members of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club pleaded guilty Thursday to their role in the $3.6 million cocaine distribution ring, which began in July 2008.

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.
