A Spencer resident has been sentenced to eight years in prison for possession of over 5.2 kilograms of counterfeit Adderall pills containing methamphetamine. Jabriel Nabulsi, 30, received the sentence from U.S. District Court Judge Margaret R. Guzman and will also serve five years of supervised release following his prison term.

In June 2024, Nabulsi pleaded guilty to possessing with intent to distribute a substance containing more than 50 grams of methamphetamine. Law enforcement identified him as a distributor of large quantities of counterfeit Adderall pills and approached him on December 27, 2023, while he was driving towards his home in Spencer.

Upon noticing law enforcement, Nabulsi attempted to flee on foot with a blue bag in hand after exiting his vehicle in a neighbor’s driveway. He discarded the bag before being apprehended by officers.

Inside the blue bag were approximately 19 vacuum-sealed clear plastic bags filled with orange pills marked "AD/30," weighing about 5.25 kilograms total. The contents tested positive for methamphetamine. Additionally, authorities found a single vacuum-sealed bag containing roughly 300 grams of cocaine within the same blue bag and smaller amounts of cocaine in Nabulsi's vehicle.

The case was announced by United States Attorney Joshua S. Levy; Stephen Belleau, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration in New England; Colonel Geoffrey D. Noble, Superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police; and Worcester Interim Police Chief Paul Saucier. Assistant U.S. Attorney Danial E. Bennett from the Worcester Branch Office prosecuted the case.
