YORK – Allen Wilcox, 20, of York, has pleaded no contest to attempted conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine.
His change of plea came as part of a status hearing that was held recently before Judge James Stecker in York County District Court.
Wilcox was one of four people to be charged in this particular case. His co-defendants are Echo Sweeney, 30; Simon Sweeney, 36; and Travis Ziegler, 34.
The alleged manufacturing place was located on East Ninth Street in York.
On March 30, the York Police Department obtained a search warrant for the residence in question and was assisted by the York County Sheriff’s Department and the Nebraska State Patrol.
The intent of the warrant, according to investigators, was to search for drugs, narcotics and evidence of reported meth making.
During the search, according to court documents, they found “a cold pack opened and ammonium nitrate removed.” They also found in the garage: a can of camping fuel with another white gas, empty lithium battery packages, bottles of muriatic acid and a five-gallon bucket of ammonia which was believed to be a byproduct of manufacturing methamphetamine.
They also said that in a bedroom they found a used syringe, a metal spoon with methamphetamine on it, a coffee filter with methamphetamine on it and additional unused syringes.
In the kitchen, they found a coffee grinder they believed to be used to grind pseudoephedrine.
In other rooms, they found jars used in the “shake and bake method,” pipes and syringes.
And in an outside garbage tote, they found a variety of items believed to be used to make methamphetamine – all according to court documents.
Wilcox was charged, initially, with manufacturing methamphetamine, a Class 2 felony; conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine, a Class 2 felony; and possession of methamphetamine, a Class 4 felony.
As part of a plea agreement, the charges were amended to one count of attempted conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine, which is a Class 2A felony. He is now facing the possibility of a maximum of 20 years in prison.
Sentencing for Wilcox has been set for Nov. 13, at 11 a.m.
