A Boston man is headed to federal prison for nearly four years after authorities discovered what appeared to be a bare-bones kitchen concealing anything but the basics: roughly a kilogram of cocaine, two loaded pistols, and approximately $2,000 stashed in the cupboards of a Dorchester apartment used as a narcotics center. His co-defendant, Giovany Fouyolle, received a much harsher federal sentence of ten years after pleading guilty to a trafficking allegation that included a handgun count. Both charges arise from a December sweep that targeted the Brockton-based Harvard Street Gang and related units in Randolph and along the South Shore.
According to the Mass Daily News, Adonis Graham, 34, pled guilty in April to one count of possession with intent to distribute cocaine and was sentenced Thursday by U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy to 46 months in prison and three years of supervised release. According to prosecutors, the Dorchester unit at the Imprint Apartments acted as a drug ring’s storage pad.
On March 25, Fouyolle, 31, pled guilty to possessing 500 grams or more of cocaine with the purpose to distribute, as well as possessing a handgun in furtherance of a narcotics trafficking felony. He was sentenced on June 2 to 10 years in prison and four years of supervised release, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts.
Both men were arrested on December 17, 2025, when search warrants were executed at numerous locations and stash houses associated with the Brockton-based Harvard Street Gang and its Randolph members. One of the locations targeted was the Imprint Apartments unit in Dorchester, where authorities discovered around 1,170 grams of cocaine, two loaded weapons, and approximately $2,000 in cash hidden in otherwise bare kitchen cupboards, according to local reports. WWLP documented the most recent sentencing update.
According to Cornell Law School, possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine triggers a five-year mandatory minimum under federal legislation, 21 U.S.C. § 841, as noted by prosecutors in Fouyolle’s plea. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, prosecutors also emphasized that the separate firearm offense, possession of a pistol in furtherance of a drug trafficking felony, elevated the seriousness of the behavior and contributed to Fouyolle’s lengthy sentence.
According to local reports and the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Assistant U.S. Attorneys David Cutshall and Philip A. Mallard of the Organized Crime & Gang Unit prosecuted the case, which drew on a multi-agency task force that included the FBI Boston, Homeland Security Investigations, the Massachusetts State Police, and more than a dozen local departments. Authorities described the probe as part of a larger effort to disrupt regional gang networks that transport large amounts of narcotics into the Boston area, according to the Mass Daily News.
