Part III
Dillas: Then I saw four golf carts coming, with spotlights shhh..truck. We guys ran up the f***** dump truck -- whoomm...in the f****** dump truck, shaking our asses ... oh f***, came right up by the f****** truck bie, we guys, I am in the truck Jules.
Roberts: You were looking.
Dillas: No bie, my heart was pumping, you could have heard it. Hey he stood the spotlight bie, he shone, he stayed in the golf cart, it was pitch dark, he was probably scared. Now...these bies are going to have a weapon bie ...
by the wheels. He stayed in the golf cart, he rolled the golf cart a little more, looked, then they left, went down to the next hole. I was so frightened, I couldn't move out of the truck (Laughter). Smitty went and left me, told him stay here with me or I'll have to take you down man. F***, Smitty, no bie .. .want for my life. The man got South Shore Road blocked off right. SmittyY goes and runs across the f****** road Jules, the man was so frightened, he ran across the road and right up in these white peoples yard. Out came a f***** Doberman Pinscher (Laughter) ...Smitty almost lost his life. Smitty jumped okay, you know the house. Okay coming up the main entrance there from Princess from South Shore.
Young: Right.
Dillas: You know that sharp, sharp corner.
Young: That one on the end.
Dillas: Smitty jumped in the house there, the dog came, Smitty jumped right off that bank, going down to South Shore, go down to Whale Bay Beach. Smitty jumped right off the f***** cliff bie, don't know why he didn't kill himself.
Smitty said f*** it, I'm gone ssshhhh.... I said oh f***, Smitty's dead.
Roberts: Where did you go after that? Dillas: He f***** well, well bounced, well he must have bounced off the...sand and he ran down Whaler Inn... a car came up out the corner, a car came up out of the corner and a cop started shining light. Smitty went across the road so fast, they weren't sure if it was a dog ... now I'm laying in the dump truck right ... I'm laying in the dump truck ... with the flashlight. I hear the officer say on the radio I'm not sure what it was, I thought I saw something flash across. I said oh ...f*** the guy's shining again, then radio... .go to certain destination.
Must have told him change the destination. So he speeded off eerrmmmm... go up by the lighthouse, here I am stuck, I said f***, f*** how am I going to make it up to Ted's home. Ted's son's house, I had to try and make it up to Sunnyside Park, that was my alibi as to where I was right. Jules, I slept in that dump truck until four in the morning, some three hours after Smitty had made his getaway I said how am I going to get out of here, I can't go back home...so I went back down... and went way back up the f***** golf course up this time, like as I'm going to Southampton Princess, I said, I cut down, up by the Tennis Club. Once I get up to the Tennis Club, I stayed up there, there's trees up there and it would get me to Sunnyside Park, you know that area.
Young: Yer, I know that area real good.
Dillas: Okay, I went up to Ted's home and jumped across the road.
Young: Comes out in the Douglas yard.
Dillas: Right, right.
Young: That guy with the BMW.
Dillas: I got up there...I got to the trees, I thought, I'm safe. Hey, those trees are tall cane grass, I don't know how I made it, I had to go about three hundred yards bie ..f****** crawl, took me f****** about forty minutes...then I had to get to barbed wire and old car. Once I got out to Sunnyside Park, I ran through the hills, even ran across Ramsay's house. Made it to Bubba's house, when I got to Bubba's house Smitty was already there, I said f*** (Laughter). F***, at this point, I told Doc's brother, Winky.
Roberts: So who was he said the sister's.
Dillas: Ehh.
Roberts: That guy said he sent him to two sister's.
Dillas: Two sisters.
Roberts: Yer, Seney, was trying something about seven sisters.
Dillas: You know the sisters he said, that is who he was dealing cocaine with first. He didn't want to call the guys names, he was talking about Anthony Stoneham, the sisters, Anthony and David Stoneham.
Young: You mean that's how they found out.
Dillas: Yeah, Seney said he was working for the sisters then he said he was working for a guy named Chrome Coleman, owns a shop in St. George's, all that's in his statement. Say now, what I'm saying is, the fact that he mentioned all those names, it gives my QC a chance to say, this guy's calling all these other people's names who is the f*** to say, may be that package is supposed to be for them. He's trying to set me up, someway, might have got my number, know what I am saying. The fact that he named names gives me some outlet.
Young: Leverage.
Dillas: See, what I'm saying that's what I'll put to my lawyer, that's my f***** way out.
Young ... Dillas: My way, my QC is a ...his role is going to have to be hey look this guy called his name, this guy originally came over here with this coke for somebody else. Someway, if you gave him that number, the police gave him that number and tried to set me to f*** up because I do have myself that...call.
Okay when he got me desperate on the 'phone and tried to meet me, tried to make me come down to Palmetto Bay, copies of the conversation ended up something like this here, look, man, you ain't coming down here. I'm saying him, I ain't doing nothing until I talk to your boy, right. I talked nothing about drugs right, he said um um, he really got desperate after I call you back three or four times. Every time he's calling me, I'm running to a pay 'phone and calling back Marcus... Marcus said, hey, look, if you are worried, don't go...then he got to the point in saying look man I've done my part of the deal... this is what I said on the 'phone, I said, man, what the f*** are you talking about, man... Roberts: You said that to throw the man off. They was listening.
Dillas: Yeah, I done that to cover myself, that's in the statement, see, what I'm saying. So, I mean, it's a ticklish case to get off but I have no....nothing was discussed in the telephone conversations about cocaine. .. Roberts: But Seney was trying to get you to say something about it.
Dillas: He was trying to get me, yes, when he said, um, um, I said this here, I know this boy is all f**** up, I said, hey man, what the f*** are you talking about. Where are you calling from anyway, man. Who have you been talking to now. He said I did...know what I'm saying. That might be a little ticklish, but that could be, I mean I could, our boy, even if that was said in my house, heh, look, man we guys just got busted for a case, some strangers calling up my home start. I've got the indication he was talking about f****** drugs, mon. Hey, I'm not going to let anybody talk on my 'phone like that, this could be a setup, know what I'm saying.
Young: Once you got up Sunnyside Park, right.
Dillas: I was safe.
Young What did you do after that? Dillas: I told... if the cops come to the house, I was up there playing cards.
Roberts: Who's that, Ted's son.
Dillas: Yeah.
Roberts: He's gonna be your witness.
Dillas: He and his girl, yeah.
Roberts: The alibi to say you were down there and not at the lighthouse.
Dillas: We was playing, yeah, yeah, we was playing cards all night and stuff like that...they never got me until the next day they never caught me though, I had to go and sign bail. The next day, the whole f***** next day, I had to go jail, sign bail about six o'clock I knew they would probably catch me, so I snuk back to the house, I didn't go back to the house till about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, cause I knew I was going straight in jail after my bail, right. I went back to the house... Larry was already in the Police Station, see, 'cause when they busted the house that night when I was up...
they took Larry, they busted the whole house, didn't find ... I snorted them all one time (Laughter). I said I long go jail, I snorted them, two grammes, mmm.... When I got to the Police station, signed my bail, a guy comes outside and says, Mr. Dillas, we're going to keep you in custody the Police want to interview you.
Roberts: Who's that there? Dillas: All the Narcotics cops want to interview me because I went to sign my bail for the first case, see, I was already on bail from the first case. So, the Police never caught me that night at the thing. The whole next day when I... I knew I had to go Police station, about six, because I had to sign six days a week. So, when I went to sign bail that was the point, see what I'm saying. The point is...
Roberts: That's when they arrested you.
Dillas: Yer, the point I'm saying is that's a good thing, as to say look is if I'm guilty look, I'm not going to go into Police Station, I went in on my own will, see what I'm saying.
Young: Right.
Dillas: QC...that's some strong points he has to weigh out.
Young: As long as you've got Bobbie and his mumma, right, specifically stay to what they have got to say right...
Dillas: And like I told you, the covering of the bike, the bike found on the golf course I told them, I stated, that the bike got stolen from Henry VIII. I told them it got stolen from Henry VIII sometime just before midnight, and then I said we came out of Henry's, we were so drunk, I thought someone was playing a game on me, I couldn't believe it, the bike weren't there.
Roberts: That was all bulls***.
Dillas: Yer that was all bulls***, see what I'm saying, but I'm backing myself.
Young: ...
Dillas: Yeah, I'm backing myself, I'm saying hey look man, I came out of the f****** thing and Smitty was drunk. I told Smitty to stop leaving the key in the bike, he has a habit of doing that. When we came out the hire bike was gone, I thought someone was playing a joke because we was drunk.
Roberts: This is what you're telling the cops.
Dillas: This is what I'm telling the cops in my statement, I thought someone was playing jokes. We stood down by the road and along came a white car. We, we had two six packs of beers that we picked up, because we were.
..initially going up to Keno's house, Bobby's home to play cards after we had a drink at Henry's anyway and when the car came...and the guy dropped us off at Southampton Rangers and walked into Bobby's home.
Roberts: Suppose they go, suppose they come and check Henry VIII.
Dillas: Well they already did go check, and the guy... up there...said he was up there.
Roberts: At the time.
Dillas: Yeah, but the thing is they can't use that, you know why ... they don't have that in the evidence, my PI's already gone, and whatever evidence they think they can use me in the statements, has to be in my papers ...
it's not there so I can use them on my behalf too.
Young: That's right.
Dillas: Because those guys were doing the money changing for me.
Roberts: Who? Dillas: Neil, Neil and Rudy, they were doing the money changing, they ... Roberts: You'll need them two then.
Dillas: Yeah, so they covered me they told ...
Roberts: They were, they sniff and all that there too.
Dillas: No, no.
Roberts: They just do the money.
Dillas: Yer man, the Police came up there man and asked them, they say yer, Dillas was here last night, he comes up here every night. See what I'm saying, that parts covered too.
Young: Right.
Dillas: I mean even if it looks a little sticky, see what I'm saying. A good QC going to turn around and make emm believe, now look for some reason or other, how that bike got out there, maybe the person that initially went to pick up the package, or it could have been a person that was at Dillas's house, which actually wasn't him, talking on the 'phone, and he might have thought that he was trying to steal, do something and maybe set up and they didn't know about it and he was probably the one who came and maybe took that bike to go pick up the package on the hill, anything like that there. See what I'm saying f****** story to throw it off because the two charges that they had before, see, is intent to supply. Now, I know I can beat that, because intent to supply means you have to have possession, on your possession, you never had it on my possession, neither do you have any fingerprints, 'cause I didn't touch it. Number two is conspiracy to import coke into the Islands. They only have my word against Seney's, they have no evidence of anything of 'phone conversations or agreement, that I told Raymond Seney to come down here and bring cocaine to Bermuda. Neither do they have any evidence that I ever, ever talked to this guy in my life before or ever talked to him on a 'phone before.
Roberts: Who's that guy? Dillas: Seney. They have no calls of me going to his house in the United States.
Roberts: What about the other guy who sent Seney.
Dillas: He's on my side.
Roberts: He's been down here. He's been to the Island.
Dillas: He's been to the Island, yeah, a long time ago. He's on my side, he's the one telling me man fight it. He called the other day from prison in New Jersey, he's the one going up for murder. He's on my side, he's the one telling me...
ROBERTS: So, so, so, so what. He's the one that shot that girl.
Dillas: Well, yeah, he organised it, he ... he's gonna beat that, too, because he was in Florida, the murder happened in New Jersey. Seney was the one gave cops about the murder, after Seney ... Roberts: Why did they take the girl out? Dillas: Because she was the one who gave, f*****, all the guys busted in the first case. See, I had a relationship with the girl, right. Marcus Cohab didn't want me to get involved with none of the guys he sent down here ... I was striking her for a whole year, this is before I have a relationship with her, right. He didn't want me to have a relationship because if things went bitter, he knew she could retaliate right. Now I had the girl, I had the girl down here three months staying in my apartment right and when I was with The Strollers on tour and I told her that I had another girlfriend, another Debbie, from New York and I told her she can stay and everything but, I'm coming back with Debbie. So I sent Coleman up my house cause she wouldn't leave the Country and she said she ain't leaving until I come back to the Island, and I've already come back with my girlfriend. I called around the house when I returned and told look, leave my f***** house, I told you my girlfriend's coming, what the f*** are you doing. She got vexed, takes an overdose of pills. Coleman calls me back to New York. Debbie's in hospital, she took an overdose of pills because you f***** her head up. I said, look man, that girl knew I had another date ... anyway, she got out of the hospital, Marcus came down, got her and took her back to Florida. She came down a couple of times on a couple of moves.
Roberts: She brought stuff down.
Dillas: She brought stuff, she brought stuff, she started bringing stuff ...
Roberts: How much did she use to bring? Dillas: She used to bring keys, she used to bring one for me one ...
Roberts: Where she bring it, airplane or ...
Dillas: No, she used to strap it on, on the boat.
Roberts On the boat.
Dillas: Strap it on yeah, and she brought a key, last time she brought a key she said it was stolen. So Marcus thing is, since you guys had this bit of a thing, she's not going to be dealing with you no more, I'll give you your own ... she'll deal with just Stoneham right. I said alright cool ... so.
Roberts: The cops caught Marcus too.
Dillas: Never caught him, never, never. When she started coming down, she started hanging out with Barbara, because I had things to do, Barbara, Barbara was ...
Roberts: ... Barbara.
Dillas: Yeah, yeah that one there. She started hanging out with Barbara she ... dropping her pants ... a couple of times Marcus didn't even tell me he was sending her down cruise ship, he wouldn't tell me because I'd be around looking for her, probably trying to f*** her. He calls me, Marcus, he says ... I got my package ... two key's stashed underground. Hey mon, I want you to do me a favour, I say what, he says, hey man you've got to find that f***** bitch. I said, what are you talking about, he says, Debbie, I hate to tell you she's on the Island. I said, on the Island, f*** off, I haven't seen this f****** girl, he says ... she's been down there a whole f****** month, that package, she brought it down, I just sent the other runner down to deliver to you to make you think that it came from the other runner. I said, where is she, I said ... that's what I'm calling you for, look the bitch she's down two hundred and seven thousand dollars, she's suppose to be back up with me. I need two or three ounces out of that package. You put the word out that somebody find that f****** bitch ... I said okay ... couple of grams.
Now look guys do some scouting. Everybody down Rangers . .. find out where she's at, I throw some bait out ... people.
Roberts: You put coke out there.
Dillas: Yeah we put coke out there ... the word came back after a couple of hours ... So I call back Marcus, I said, I found that information ... he said okay, go pick up Miranda and take Miranda .. way over South Shore. I said I can't go close in the car, she knows the sound of my Subaru ... I drop him off South Shore so he walks up the walk I stay down the hill ... to the door, she's not here, so he f****** kicked the f******g door down, f****** lying to me bitch, where the f*** is she ... pushed straight passed her, we kept her, took her straight to the aeroplane and put her on the plane. When that incident went down, she f****** blamed me, sort of like she thought I was the one who ... to find where she was, so she has a bit of a thing against me when she went back to the States. Marcus fired her from the organisation 'cause she was unreliable. She was down here smoking all up with all these guys.
Roberts: So where was Marcus, where did he come from, Florida.
Dillas: Marcus was in Florida, I put her back on the plane, sent her to Florida, where he was waiting for her, so he paid her off.
Roberts: So he, did they find her dead in New Jersey? Dillas: Check it out, he ... she won't be working in Bermuda, basically she wants to do some things in the United States, he will reconsider to keeping her in the organisation, kept her down in Florida for a while... for, she brought money back and forth from Chicago ... Now her thing was, she got pissed off and probably blamed it on me ... She called down to Bermuda and told the man the whole operation.
Roberts: She told the cops.
Dillas: She told the cops about everything what we was doing ... in the Island. They start watching us, we didn't know. Okay, when they busted us and everything and locked us up ... I called up Marcus and said, that f***** bitch ... dropped a dime on us. He said, you don't have to worry. I said, what, I said, what do you mean by that.
Young: I like his style bie.
Dillas: They said, what are you f****** stupid ... I'm still acting dumb and he said look you don't have to worry, you won't have anymore complications. I thought he meant he would fire her .... on you know ... as I still like her.
Roberts: What he's telling you is that he was going to have her killed.
Young: Yeah plain and simple.
Dillas: I would have tried to talk him out of that there, you know what I'm saying in between those times, she would still call me every night right ...
she'd still be cool and all that.
Roberts: She'd still be cool.
Dillas: Anyway about four days had passed right. So we were back up, two weeks arraignment up Magistrate Court ... Delroy comes in, I see him looking worried, looking at the guys, Barrie Meade, Arnfield and all the other Narcotics were in the court this morning. I said what the f**** going on.
Delroy comes round to each one and I heard him whispering ... Deborah who, Deborah Lee Owens ... Why you say that, he said, she was just killed ... she was under Federal protection by the DEA, somebody got to her and shot .. Young That must have been a f***** blow to you that morning bie.
Dillas: I was ..
