WILKES-BARRE – Two men charged with involvement in a $3.6 million cocaine distribution ring appeared in Luzerne County Court this week, with one pleading guilty to a charge and the other asking for a jury trial.

Larry Gwynn, 55, of Hanover Township, pleaded guilty Wednesday to a charge of criminal conspiracy while Kevin Nowakowski, 34, of Forty Fort, requested a trial on related charges, including corrupt organizations and criminal conspiracy.

According to court records, an investigation began in July 2008 when agents with the state Bureau of Narcotics investigation unit received information that someone was selling large quantities of cocaine in the Wilkes-Barre area. The investigation led to the arrest of several members of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club, based in Ashley.
