14 PORT WORKERS CHARGED IN SCHEME
LARRY LEBOWITZ Staff WriterSUN-SENTINEL
March 1998
Fourteen private security guards and unionized dockworkers were indicted on Friday and charged with running a massive "rip 'n' run" conspiracy that smuggled more than 3,000 pounds of cocaine and 10,000 pounds of marijuana into Port Everglades.
Federal officials said the arrests, following a 19-month investigation, signal the emergence of Port Everglades as the smugglers' port of choice because of toughened security at the Port of Miami.
Customs and Drug Enforcement Agency officials identified the ringleaders as:
* Cecil "Big Dirty" McCleod, 36, of Davie, a cargo crane operator with the Teamsters Local 390 at Crowley American Transport at Port Everglades.
* Daphne "Ma" Creary, 59, of Plantation, a former guard with Burns Security Co., which is responsible for access at Crowley.
* Mark Knight, 31, of Plantation, a union stevedore with the International Longshoremen's Association unit at Sealand Services at Port Everglades.
While the indictment covered marijuana, cocaine and heroin shipments during the past 19 months, McCleod and Creary's organization had been operating at least five years, DEA Special Agent in Charge William Mitchell said.
Raphael Lopez, special agent in charge of the U.S. Customs Service in South Florida, said the ease with which the group operated points to serious security problems at Port Everglades.
Crane operators or stevedores would commonly move the containers to remote areas of the yards, near fences and away from security cameras and guards. They would "rip" the drugs from the containers and "run" from the port in their personal pickup trucks and vans.
Occasionally, they would allow friends and drug-dealing associates to drive entire containers away from the port using tractor-trailers. In one case, Mitchell said, the group intercepted somebody else's drug shipment and ripped it off.
Typically, the dockworkers and drivers would take a 20 percent cut of the contraband as their commission for delivering the drugs to a distributor, the indictment said.
The security guards, many of whom were earning $6 to $7 per hour, were paid as much as $10,000 to $30,000 per load to look the other way, Mitchell said.
Thirteen of the 14 indicted were arrested in simultaneous early-morning raids by Customs and DEA agents at the port and several homes in Broward and Miami-Dade counties.
Several made first appearances in magistrate court still wearing their guard uniforms. All will be held without bail pending hearings next week before a magistrate in West Palm Beach.
Besides McCleod, two other defendants are members of the Teamsters Local 390, which provides stevedores to Crowley. Knight and one other defendant, Malcolm Edwards of Miramar, are members of ILA Local 1526, which provides stevedores to Sealand at Port Everglades.
In addition to Creary, five other defendants were employed as guards at either Burns Security Co. or Motivated Security Co.: John Lambert of Fort Lauderdale, Andrew Rodney of Sunrise, Patrick Robinson of Pompano Beach, Diedonnaks Charles and Chester Collins, both of Lauderdale Lakes.
Agents worked with a confidential informant who provided tips about drug smuggling at the port dating back to August 1996, authorities said.
But the investigation picked up steam in early October, when Customs and DEA agents nailed two dockworkers and a security guard smuggling 53 kilograms of cocaine into the port at Sealand Services.
Authorities named the investigation Operation Energizer, after the bunny in the television commercials that keeps on going _ just like drug smuggling at South Florida ports, they said.
The investigation continues.
