Adrina Hamrick Cannnon, 51, of Cranston, RI, Randy Diaz-Pizarro, a/k/a Fresh, 34, of Boston, MA, Jaquori Lyons, a/k/a Gizzle and Tottie Y Gizzle, 28, of Boston, MA, and Bernice Carvalho, 25, of Boston, MA, are all charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and distribution of a controlled substance. Hamrick Cannon and Carvalho are also charged with providing contraband to a prison inmate and Diaz-Pizzaro and Lyons are also charged with being an inmate of a prison who obtained contraband.

According to charging documents, on dates between June 25, 2024 and July 10, 2025, while Diaz-Pizarro and Lyons were inmates at the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Center, Hamrick Cannon and Carvalho did provide and Diaz-Pizarro and Lyons did receive pieces of paper containing a detectable amount of MDMB-4en-PINACA, a Schedule I controlled substance. Diaz-Pizarro and Lyons were inmates at the Donald W.

Diaz-Pizarro was charged in the District of Massachusetts on February 7, 2024, with drug and firearm offenses. Diaz-Pizarro was detained after his arrest in that case. Diaz-Pizarro pled guilty in that case on January 13, 2025, and was sentenced to a term of 120 months imprisonment. He is currently serving that sentence. (24-cr-10039-WGY). Lyons was charged by complaint, on May 24, 2023, and thereafter, on July 19, 2023, by indictment in the District of Massachusetts with drug, firearm, and conspiracy to conduct enterprise affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity offenses. (23-cr-10186-ADB). In that case, Lyons was detained after his arrest. He is awaiting trial on that case.
