A Cranston resident, Sambo Sok, has admitted to producing and distributing methamphetamine and fentanyl-laced fake Adderall pills. The admission was made in a federal court on Tuesday. Acting United States Attorney Sara Miron Bloom announced the plea.
Sok, 41, pleaded guilty to charges of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. His sentencing is set for September 11, 2025. The sentence will be determined by a federal district judge based on U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other factors.
The court heard that during an investigation in the summer of 2022, DEA agents discovered that Sok’s residence was being used for manufacturing methamphetamine-laced pills. On August 15, 2025, agents observed activities at Sok’s home indicative of narcotics trafficking. A large quantity of pills was transferred from the residence to a vehicle trunk by someone involved in manufacturing and packaging the drugs. Law enforcement later stopped this vehicle and seized approximately 10,500 methamphetamine-laced fake Adderall pills.
Agents also responded to Sok’s home where they saw another individual placing thousands of methamphetamine pills into a vehicle trunk. Sok was apprehended while trying to flee.
Subsequent searches authorized by the court led to the seizure of over 12 kilograms of methamphetamine from Sok’s residence, including around 21,688 pills and more than half a kilogram of a mixture containing methamphetamine and fentanyl. Authorities also confiscated five pill presses and various drug production items along with nearly 2,000 tablets containing MDMA, methamphetamine, and caffeine.
Assistant United States Attorney Stacey A. Erickson is prosecuting the case which was investigated by the Rhode Island DEA Drug Task Force.
