A Boston man is headed to federal prison for nearly four years after agents found what looked like a bare-bones kitchen hiding anything but basics: roughly a kilogram of cocaine, two loaded guns and about $2,000 stashed in the cabinets of a Dorchester apartment used as a drug hub. His co-defendant, Giovany Fouyolle, received a far stiffer federal term of 10 years after pleading guilty to a trafficking charge that included a firearm count. Both prosecutions stem from a December sweep that targeted the Brockton-based Harvard Street Gang and affiliated crews in Randolph and across the South Shore.
Adonis Graham, 34, pleaded 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, followed by three years of supervised release, according to Mass Daily News. Prosecutors said the Dorchester unit at the Imprint Apartments served as a stash pad for the drug ring.
Fouyolle, 31, pleaded guilty on March 25 to possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine and to possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. He was sentenced June 2 to ten years in prison and four years of supervised release, the U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Massachusetts reported.
The Dorchester stash and the takedown
Both men were arrested on Dec. 17, 2025, when search warrants went down at multiple residences and stash houses tied to the Brockton-based Harvard Street Gang and its Randolph affiliates. One of the locations hit was the Imprint Apartments unit in Dorchester, where agents recovered approximately 1,170 grams of cocaine, two loaded firearms and about $2,000 in cash sitting in otherwise bare kitchen cabinets, local reporting shows. WWLP documented the latest sentencing update.
What the law says
Under federal statute, 21 U.S.C. § 841, possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine triggers a five year mandatory minimum, a threshold prosecutors cited in Fouyolle’s plea, according to the Cornell Law School. Prosecutors also noted that the separate firearm count, possession of a gun in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, increased the seriousness of the conduct and helped explain the longer sentence for Fouyolle, per the U.S. Attorney’s Office announcement.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys David Cutshall and Philip A. Mallard of the Organized Crime & Gang Unit and drew on a multi agency task force that included FBI Boston, Homeland Security Investigations, the Massachusetts State Police and more than a dozen local departments, according to local reporting and the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Authorities described the investigation as part of a broader push to dismantle regional gang networks that move wholesale quantities of narcotics into the Boston metro area, Mass Daily News noted.
