A federal inmate has been sentenced to an additional term in prison for orchestrating a scheme to smuggle synthetic substances into the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility.
According to the Rhode Island United States Attorney’s Office, Randy Diaz-Pizarro, 34, intended to bring synthetic cannabinoids into the correctional facility.
On November 7, Diaz-Pizarro was sentenced to an additional 24 months in addition to the 120 months he is already serving for a separate conviction in Massachusetts.
According to a release from the attorney’s office, the conspiracy involved another inmate, a facility staffer, and someone outside the prison, all attempting to get drug-soaked paper inside.
According to reports, Diaz-Pizarro oversaw the scheme’s funds and conversations.
