A US airport worker told a jury he'd been importing drugs to Bermuda for "ten years or more, off and on".Brian Wade who helped investigators after getting caught stashing cannabis on a flight from Philadelphia said he'd sent narcotics "maybe two, three times a week".He was giving evidence at Supreme Court yesterday in the trial of two Bermudian men, Lorenzo Lottimore and Craig Hatherley, who are accused of plotting to import heroin.Wade told the jury he was paid by other people involved in the drug-smuggling operation and spoke to different people on the phone."I didn't know exactly who I was speaking to — it was arranged someone would bring it to me. I would send it over and make a phone call to let them know it was on its way," he said.Wade said he was paid $400 to $500 per pound of cannabis, and could not be sure if some of the packages contained other drugs because they were wrapped when he received them.He worked as a "ramp agent" at Philadelphia airport from 1988 until he was caught putting the cannabis on the plane on October 7, 2010.In evidence yesterday, he named various individuals he'd dealt with including two people named Dave and someone named Bo.He said one of the Daves was David Carroll. Prosecutors say Carroll, who is not on trial, worked at Bermuda's LF Wade airport and took the drugs off the planes or got his associates to do it.Wade also identified someone named "Afro". Prosecutor Garrett Byrne told the jury in his opening speech that Afro is the nickname Carroll knew Lottimore by.Wade told the jury he'd met Afro once or twice prior to October 7 2010, in New York or Philadelphia. He said they discussed sending cannabis to Bermuda.He detailed various telephone conversations he had with Dave and Afro — which he allowed to be recorded by US special agents. He said the calls involved making arrangements to send drugs to Bermuda in late 2010 and early 2011.According to Wade, he cooperated with the investigation after getting caught at the airport because "my lawyer said it was in my best interests to do so".Wade has pleaded guilty to a charge in the US of possessing the cannabis found on the plane with intent to distribute it. He has pleaded guilty and is on bail, awaiting sentencing.The jury has heard allegations from Crown witnesses that Mr Hatherley handed the $997,000-worth of heroin at the centre of the current case over to a person he thought was one of Wade’s associates in Manhattan on April 22 2011.Homeland Security agent James Duty explained in evidence yesterday how he replaced the drugs with a dummy package containing flour, fitted it with a GPS device, and sent it to Bermuda on June 1 2011.According to prosecutors, the package was collected by a man named Loren Marshall, who handed it over to Carroll at a meeting at Burchall's Cove in Hamilton Parish on the afternoon of June 1, which Lorenzo Lottimore also attended.Police watched the meeting and arrested Mr Lottimore and Carroll. According to the prosecutor, both tried to flee. Carroll dropped two packages containing $10,000 in cash as he did so. Lottimore had four cell phones with him, including the one allegedly used to make arrangements with Wade. Mr Hatherley was arrested the following day.Sergeant Adrian Cook played the jury a videotape of the June 1 meeting yesterday, which he made while hiding in woods near Burchall’s Cove. The sound of shouts and a struggle could be heard on the tape after the men walked out of camera shot and narcotics officers swooped.Sgt Cook told the jury he watched an earlier meeting at the same location on the evening of May 12 2011. He said an unidentified white or lightskinned man met with a man he recognised as David Carroll.Mr Hatherley, 27, of Warwick, and Mr Lottimore, 33, of Paget, deny conspiring with Carroll and others not before the court to import heroin to Bermuda, and the case continues.
