Feds: Nebraska pharmacist, Virginia drug dealer plotted to blow up rival pharmacy in Auburn

Source: Omaha World Herald

By Todd Cooper

A plot involving a small-town Nebraska pharmacy sounds like it’s straight out of the Netflix series “Ozark.”

It comes complete with allegations of a computer wizard disguising financial transactions on the Internet’s shadowy cousin, the Darknet. It includes accusations of money laundering and drug dealing. And, oh yeah, a purported plot to blow up a rival in order to hide the illicit activity.

However, the violent part of this nationwide drug scheme was supposed to take place in a stately town in southeastern Nebraska, not the lakes of southern Missouri.

Arrested Friday: Hyrum Wilson, 41, owner of Hyrum Family Value Pharmacy in Auburn. He is charged with conspiracy to use fire and explosives, conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and a weapons offense. Possible penalty: Up to life in prison.
