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

CRANSTON, R.I. (WLNE) — Acting United States Attorney Sara Miron Bloom said that a Cranston man admitted to producing, possessing, and delivering thousands of methamphetamine and fentanyl-laced fake Adderall pills before his arrest in August 2022.

41-year-old Sambo Sok was charged with possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine and conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.

Bloom said that during an investigation into Sok’s drug distribution activities, police stopped a car that had left his residence that contained approximately 10,500 methamphetamine-laced fake Adderall pills.

Sok was arrested after attempting to flee, and police said that he had placed another bag containing thousands of pills into another vehicle.

Searches of his residence, a shed on his property, and a vehicle found 12,110.7 grams of methamphetamine, including approximately 21,688 pills and 501.2 grams of a mixture of methamphetamine and fentanyl, five pill presses, various items used in the production of drug-laced pills, and nearly 2,000 tablets containing a combination of MDMA, methamphetamine, and caffeine.

Sok is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 11.
