A Cranston resident has been sentenced to federal prison for producing and distributing large quantities of methamphetamine-laced pills that were disguised and sold as Adderall, according to an announcement from Acting United States Attorney Sara Miron Bloom.

Sambo Sok, 41, received a sentence of 120 months in prison and four years of supervised release. U.S. District Court Judge Mary S. McElroy handed down the sentence on November 13, 2025. Sok pleaded guilty earlier this year to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.

The investigation into Sok began in August 2022. Law enforcement executed a court-authorized search at his residence, vehicle, and an outbuilding on his property. During the search, agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) seized several kilograms of substances containing methamphetamine and about 25,000 pills. Authorities also found substances containing fentanyl along with five pill presses and equipment used for manufacturing drug-laced pills.

Court documents described Sok as running a “serious, voluminous production operation” responsible for producing “astronomical” amounts of illegal pills.

“The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Stacey A. Erickson.”

“The matter was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, Providence District Office.”
