A Jamaican waiter charged with conspiring to import cocaine told Supreme Court that he had no knowledge of drug smuggling.However, Crown counsel Carrington Mahoney described him as trying to look like a “super pimp drug pusher.”Ricardo Stewart, 32, from Ocho Rios, has been accused of masterminding a plot to bring 3.9 kg of drugs valued at $735,375 to Bermuda from St Martin on the Explorer of the Seas.However, the plot failed when workmen refurbishing the bar area of the vessel’s dance club found the drugs stashed under a seat on June 6, 2010.Two other cruise ship employees, Kenile Bushay, 35, and Adrian Morris, 28, were arrested during the investigation. Both men told police that Mr Stewart had led the illegal operation.Mr Stewart denies conspiring with Mr Morris and others not before the court to illegally import drugs to Bermuda.Taking the stand in his own defence, Mr Stewart said he barely knew Mr Bushay or Mr Morris, and had no idea why they would point the finger at him.“I have seen them around on the ship,” Mr Stewart said. “We had no conversations. We said hi or hello.”He said he didn’t see or speak to either man on June 6, when the drugs were discovered, but was told by his girlfriend that Mr Morris had come to his room looking for him.“My girlfriend told me he came to my cabin looking for me,” Mr Stewart said. “I asked why and she said she didn’t know. She said she tried to call me, but I was doing the store.”He said the first he learned about any drugs was a day later when police came to his cabin and arrested him and his girlfriend.“I told them I had no idea what they were talking about,” he said. “I was not involved with anyone in a conspiracy.”Asked why he had $4,900 in US cash hidden in a box of laundry detergent, he said he wanted to make sure if anyone broke into his room, it was not out in the open.Mr Stewart said he didn’t know Mr Morris’ name until police were interrogating him, but Crown counsel Carrington Mahoney said that wasn’t true, noting that during the interrogation Mr Stewart never asked who Mr Morris was.“Throughout the whole interview, it was Mr Morris, Mr Morris, Mr Morris. When the police were talking about Mr Morris, did you ask who he was?” Mr Mahoney asked.“Did you at any point say, ‘Morris? Who is that?’”He also questioned Mr Stewart on his phone records. While Mr Stewart told police that he had made several phone calls to a contractor named Mark, in court he said Mark was not a contractor, but helps in the building process.Asked if he had lied to police, Mr Stewart responded: “Everybody lies. You don’t?”Mr Mahoney said that according to pictures, Mr Stewart frequently wore expensive jewellery such as a gold watch and a large gold pendant while in Jamaica, but not on the ship.“You do this because you don’t want people to know you spend more than your legitimate earnings,” Mr Mahoney said.Mr Stewart denied the allegations, saying he dressed up more frequently while on the cruise ship. He also downplayed the value of the jewellery.While Mr Mahoney valued a gold pendant Mr Stewart was often seen wearing at $6,500, Mr Stewart said he bought jewellery at one-third of that cost.Mr Stewart was also questioned about the music on his computer, with Mr Mahoney reading aloud lyrics to the 50 Cent song ‘Ski Mask Way.’Mr Mahoney called Mr Stewart the mastermind of the drug smuggling scheme, arranging for guests and cruise ship staff to move the drugs around the ship to avoid detection.“You made sure not to show your showy bling. You dressed on the down low. You had everybody doing your dirty work because you want quick money just like your favourite song,” Mr Mahoney said. “To look like a super pimp drug pusher.“Your ambition is money, money, money. You told Mr Morris to take the blame and he started to panic so you gave him $1,500 to make sure he didn’t call your name.”Mr Stewart responded: “I never used anyone and I never messed with drugs.”The trial is scheduled to continue on Monday.
