so he would call me back to see if I had found out.
DS31:
Did you ever call Stowe.
ANS:
No.
DS31:
Why not.
ANS:I weren`t
calling Stowe if it weren`t my responsibility to call him.
Everette called me back and I told him the line was busy and that I
couldn`t get him. That`s when
Everette told me he would call Stowe himself.
DS31:Norman, I
am now going to show you some photocopies of some papers.
Can you please tell me if you can recognise them.
ANS:They look
like the papers you took from the truck yesterday.
I signed one of them when I picked up the goods from the docks
yesterday.
DS31:Norman,
they are in fact copies of papers I took from your truck yesterday. Do you recall I then gave
you back those papers.
ANS:Yes, and
everything you gave me, I gave to Everette.
DS31:
Where did you give them to Everette.
ANS:Up Seymour
Farm where you followed me yesterday.
DS31:What
happened at Seymour Farm.
ANS:I went up
the road looking for the house. I
was looking to my left and I saw the red BMW flash it`s lights.
You past me, and then I reversed back in the yard I jumped out, dropped
the tailgate and Everette said "Hey lover, what`s happening".
I said "Everythings safe, everythings there." I got onto the
back of the truck and Everette and his brother Wally took the TV`s off.
The box that was tampered with, I pulled it to the tailgate, jumped
down and picked it up and took it into the house myself.
As I was walking I told Everette the box got broken by the fork lift.
DS31:
What did you do with this box.
ANS:
I rested it right inside on the floor.
DS31:How did
you place it on the floor.
ANS:I eased it
down with the tampered end downwards. On
the floor, so they could open the fresh end.
DS31:Did you
see how they got into the apartment.
ANS:When I
backed up they were sat in the car and by the time I got there they were out
of the car and the door was open.
DS31:Where were
you when you gave Everette the papers.
ANS:In the yard
before I got on the truck.
DS31:When
Everette calls you, where does he call.
ANS:At home or
in the truck, I got two numbers.
DS31:What are
those numbers.
ANS:Home is
295-1920 and 2347-559 in the truck.
DS31:And when
you call him, where do you call.
ANS:Sometimes
he call`s my girlfriends truck number 234-7558 to find out where I am. I call
him either to the shop down town where I picked up the money or to his home.
DS31:Have you
ever been to the house at Seymour Farm before.
ANS:Yesterday
was the first time. I`ve been up Everette`s house about six times since I`ve
known him. The first time he gave
me the ounce of herb and the other times just to talk.
DS31:When you
picked up these goods from the docks yesterday where you
of the understanding that they were Everette`s.
ANS:
Well yes. Thats who gave
me the money.
DS31:
He was the one who told me everything.
ANS:And you
were aware, or at least suspected you would be delivering drugs in the boxes.
ANS:On the
Monday just gone, I spoke to his half brother Antoine Brangman, and I asked
him. I`m picking up these things
for Everrette, did he think there was any drugs in it.
He said when he was friends with Everette 9 or 10 years ago, he was
bringing drugs in in TV`s and he told me to break one open and check it.
Antoine was supposed to meet me in town but the stuff wasn`t ready and
then I decided to take it myself.
DS31:
Have you ever collected other thing off the dock for Everette.
ANS:Yes, before
Xmas, that was the first and this is the second.
DS31:What did
you pick up before Xmas.
ANS:Same
things. TV`s and games.
Seven pieces the same as this time.
DS31:
Where did you deliver these items.
ANS:Up
Somerset, opposite Country Squire, up the road by the back of Loyalty Inn.
I don`t know whose house it was but Shirlene or Sharon Brangman`s car
was in the yard. I watched her
grow up so I know her.
DS31:
Who was there.
ANS:Everette,
his brother who was there yesterday, and this tall guy who I think is Shirlene
or Sharon`s boyfriend or husband. I
seen him driving the car.
DS31:
Who unloaded it.
ANS:They did,
and took it inside the house, I didn`t go inside, I just looked in by a little
porch.
DS31:And this
is the shipment you said you received an ounce of herb from.
ANS:Yes.
DS31:Did you
have any paperwork regarding that shipment.
ANS:
Same as last time and I gave it to Everette.
DS31:
Is there anything else you want to say.
ANS:Everette
was supposed to give me a pound of herb from this shipment.
DS31:When we
were up your house yesterday you made some telephone calls.
Where did you call.
ANS:I called
the shop and the line was engaged and when I put the telephone down, it rang
and I picked it up and I spoke to who I feel was Wallace or Wally.
I told him I got everything and that it was straight and he said he
would get hold of Everette. Then Everette called me back whey you were there.
I told him everything
was safe and he told me where to go up Seymour Farm, and I told him I would be leaving in five minutes.
DS31:
Is there anything you want to say.
ANS:
That`s it.
