Owen Landry, also known as “Oski,” was sentenced on July 31 in federal court in Boston to 11 years in prison and five years of supervised release for distributing and conspiring to distribute counterfeit Adderall pills containing methamphetamine. Landry, 24, of Lowell, Massachusetts, pleaded guilty in April to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine; one count of possession with intent to distribute the same amount; and two counts related to distribution and possession with intent involving at least 50 grams. He was among five individuals charged in January 2025.
The investigation into the Asian Boyz gang began in 2021 with the goal of disrupting large-scale methamphetamine pill manufacturing and distribution affecting Lowell. Authorities said Landry conspired with Sovath Yern (“Stryke”) and used Zachary Hansen’s residence as a storage and distribution site. At Landry’s direction, Hansen sold counterfeit Adderall pills from his home and collected payments.
Landry negotiated two major counterfeit pill deals in July and August 2024, directing buyers to Hansen’s Lowell residence where law enforcement surveilled the transactions. In July, a cooperating witness paid $2,000 for 5,000 pills; another transaction occurred in August involving $2,000 for 2,000 pills. Later that year, Landry sold additional pills allegedly sourced from Yern’s apartment complex garage in Billerica during meetings with a cooperating witness—delivering 4,000 pills in November and another 5,000 pills in December after receiving cash payments.
United States Attorney Leah B. Foley announced the sentencing along with Ted E. Docks of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Boston Division and Greg C. Hudon of the Lowell Police Department. The Massachusetts State Police as well as police departments from Billerica, Haverhill, Methuen, North Andover and Salem assisted in the case prosecution by Assistant U.S. Attorney Fred M. Wyshak III from the Organized Crime & Gang Unit.
The case is part of Operation Take Back America—a nationwide initiative led by the Department of Justice aimed at combating illegal immigration-related crime networks through coordinated efforts under its Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) program.
