A Cranston resident, Sambo Sok, has admitted to a federal judge that he was involved in the production and distribution of methamphetamine and fentanyl-laced fake Adderall pills. The announcement was made by Acting United States Attorney Sara Miron Bloom. Sok, aged 41, pleaded guilty to charges of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. His sentencing is scheduled for September 11, 2025.
The court was informed that during the summer of 2022, DEA agents discovered that methamphetamine-laced pills were being manufactured at Sok’s residence. On August 15, 2025, law enforcement observed activities at his home consistent with drug trafficking. A large quantity of pills was transferred from Sok’s residence to a vehicle trunk. Shortly after, authorities stopped the vehicle and seized approximately 10,500 methamphetamine-laced fake Adderall pills.
Further investigation led law enforcement to 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 present at the scene.
Subsequent searches authorized by the court at Sok’s residence, a shed on his property, and a parked vehicle resulted in the seizure of over 12 kilograms of methamphetamine including about 21,688 pills and over half a kilogram of a mixture containing methamphetamine and fentanyl. Authorities also confiscated five pill presses along with other items used in drug production and 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.
