How much money

five a week. I get paid thirty

How long have
you know Everette Wellman?
I met him down
on the truck stand on Front Street last December.
He`s not my friend well lets put it this way I don`t associate with
him.
How many jobs
have you done for Everette Wellman?
This is the
second and last. Two dock jobs.
Am I correct in
saying that the first "dock job" you did for Everette Wellman took
place sometime in December of 1989?
Yes anytime
between November or December.
What did that
job entitle?
I went down to
the dock picked up the packages and dropped them off Somerset.
Picked up my money and I was gone.
In your
statement you say that you went straight from the docks to Somerset following
Everette Wellman. It is my
information that you went home first and transfered the parcels you picked up
to your brothers van and then went to Somerset.
Do you have any comment?
Thats right.
The first time I went home with the parcels and put them into my
brothers van. I then went back
down to the docks and met Everette who then lead me up to Somerset.
Norman, why did
you in your statement and when I ask you just now tell me that you had gone
straight to Somerset when you went home first?
I didn`t think
you knew about that.
Is there any
thing else you have left out in your statement?
Look I am going
to tell the whole truth now. The
first time I went down to the docks for Everette I had an idea that something
was coming in but I didn`t know what. I
picked the parcels up. I took
them home I put them into the van. I
followed Everette up to Somerset. We
went up behind Loyalty Inn to a white house.
It is a new house. There
was a grey car in the yard that I recognised as the one Shirelene Brangmans
drives. Everette was there, his
brother (the same guy that was with him tonight) and another guy a tall guy -
I believe he said he was a bartender. He
could have been Shirelene`s husband. Everette
paid me sixty dollars. He then
asked me if I smoked herb I told him no but that my girlfriend did. Everette said come check him later on in the evening and he`d
hook me up with an ounce. I said
well what about a pound. He said
that he was short and that someone had
robbed him but he would see what he could do.
So he told me where he stayed on Cooks Hill. I left. A couple
of days later I went to his house. He`s
got a couple of dogs not pitbulls - dobermans.
I knocked on his door and he said who is it I said me he said O.K lover
I`ll get it. He went around to
the side of the house and came back with a small plastic bag of herb.
I then said I
thought it would be a pound. He
then said that things had gone different and that Televisions had gone
missing. I then said you`re not
bringing drugs in the TVs are you cause I didn`t want to be picking that shit
up. Everette then said NO NO
Lover boy don`t worry. I then
took the ounce, if it was an ounce home.
My girlfriend Karen smoked some of it over the holidays.
This guy I know as Stuart his nickname is "GHOST" came round
my house and he smoked some too. Then
in my upstairs living room. Stuart
packaged up the weed into brown paper twists which he was going sell for fifty
dollars. He packaged it in front
of me. He sold them for fifty
dollars. He would keep ten
dollars and I got the forty dollars left.
Stuart said the stuff was good and he could sell it quick. He was gone for less then hour it weren`t that long he came
back and gave me about seven hundred dollars.
What did you do
with the seven hundred dollars.
I paid for the
insurance for my truck. There was
a few other guys who came and smoked around my house. I gave Keith Robinson, a couple of joints
Who is Keith
Robinson?
He is a truck
driver.
What did you do
after you finished selling and using your ounce of Cannibis?
I just went
back to working normally.
Did you attempt
to get more drugs from Everette Wellman?
No.
When was the
next time you had dealings with Everette Wellman?
He gave me a
couple of phones calls last week saying that he had some more T.V.`s to pick
up. I asked him why he didn`t use
Rafur Trucking to deliver them. He
said he wanted me. So he told me
to pick up the paperwork. The
paperwork hadn`t arrived. Everette
then called me on Tuesday this week sometime around
eleven and again around one or two. He
told me that Tommy had delivered the paperwork to Rafur Trucking down the
airport. He wanted me to phone
down to Rafur and to make sure that Tommy had dropped the paperwork off.
On Tuesday around four thirty, quarter to five in the afternoon I
picked the paperwork up. The guy at Rafur told me that it was cleared and ready to be
picked up at the docks. I went
home and later on that night Everette called me up bugging me about picking
the T.V.s. So later on that night
I went up South Shore and met up with Everette.
I told me that I hadn`t pick up the paperwork and that I do it on
Wednesday. On Wednesday I
borrowed my ace boy`s truck and around eight fifteen eight thirty in morning I
went down down to the docks to pick up the T.V.s.
The guy at gate at number seven said it weren`t ready.
I went onto the dock and another guy in charge of the dock told me it
wouldn`t be unloaded to late Thursday or Friday morning and check back then.
He asked me where the video store was in Somerset.
I said this is the second time I picked it up and as far as I`m
concerned the store was on Main Road Somerset.
So I went back to work. Everette
called me at around eleven asking why I hadn`t got back to him.
I said that stuff weren`t ready but when it was ready I would met him
at the place he told me about last week.
He told me of a place in Southampton.
Today around two I went down to the docks I picked up the T.V.s and the
games and took them. Later on I
opened one of the T.V.s cause I had an idea that something was in side and I
figured it to be drugs. I just
cracked it and thats when you guys came.
What I intended to do was open it right up and see what was inside.
If there were a pound in there I would have snatched it up cause
there`s a few guys I know who could have sold it for me.
Get a few dollars and pay up my bills.
But that did not happen cause you guys got me.
I relise now that what I have done is wrong.
I`m sorry that I lied to you earlier.
I have told the truth and I have helped you as much as I can.
Norman, why did
you lie to Everette on Tuesday when you had the paperwork for the televisions
and told him you didn`t?
I tell you this
part here I tell you the truth too. I
figured I had a chance to pick it up and without Everette knowing contact his
cousin or something like that, Antoine Brangman he`s got long
dirty hair the style called dreadlocks. He
stays up Somerset near a shoe shop. Antoine,
I asked Antoine did he figure there was shit in the T.V.`s.
He told me that when he was in with Everette about nine years ago.
Everette must have messed around with Antoine cause they hate each
other like cat and dog. Antoine
told me that Everette brought the stuff in T.V.s so I jumped the gun and this
time round I told Antoine about the T.V.`s Antoine said to pick the T.V.`s up
and take it home and steal all of the shit and tell Everette that the dock
people must have opened it up. I
was going to rip off Everette cause he has messed around alot of people. I was going to give the shit to Antoine and let him take it.
Thats truth.
Norman before I
finish this record is there anything else you would like to say.
No.
I`ve helped as much as I can. If
you think you need my help just call me.

No thats O.K.
