Cranston man pleads guilty to producing meth and fentanyl-laced pills

A Cranston resident has admitted in federal court to producing, possessing, and distributing methamphetamine and fentanyl-laced fake Adderall pills. Acting United States Attorney Sara Miron Bloom announced that Sambo Sok, 41, entered a guilty plea on charges of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. Sok is set for sentencing on September 11, 2025.

The investigation revealed that during the summer of 2022, DEA agents discovered methamphetamine-laced pills were being manufactured at Sok's residence. On August 15, 2025, law enforcement observed activity at his home indicative of narcotics trafficking. A person involved in manufacturing and packaging pills moved a large quantity from the residence to a vehicle trunk. Shortly thereafter, authorities stopped the vehicle and seized approximately 10,500 methamphetamine-laced fake Adderall pills.

Law enforcement also intervened at Sok’s home where another co-conspirator was seen placing thousands of methamphetamine pills into a vehicle trunk. Sok attempted to flee but was apprehended by agents.

Searches authorized by the court led to the seizure of 12,110.7 grams of methamphetamine—comprising about 21,688 pills—and 501.2 grams of a mixture containing methamphetamine and fentanyl from Sok’s residence, shed, and a parked vehicle outside his home. Additionally seized were five pill presses and various items used in drug production along with nearly 2,000 tablets containing MDMA, methamphetamine, and caffeine.

Assistant United States Attorney Stacey A. Erickson is prosecuting the case following an investigation conducted by the Rhode Island DEA Drug Task Force.
