Calvin Roberts plus four charged with conspiracy to import 92 kilos of cocaine into the United States

27-foot boat and two men with suspicious answers. A dog sniffed, the men rolled and authorities soon had a cocaine conspiracy.

Palm Beach police learned of a Wellcraft boat arriving from the Bahamas through the Palm Beach Inlet, according to an arrest affidavit released Thursday by the U.S. Attorney's Office.Palm Beach officers stopped the boat shortly after 8 p.m. Boat operator Calvin Roberts, 34, from the Bahamas, told them the vessel belonged to a friend and they were taking it to Riviera Beach to have work done. But he didn't know his friend's last name. Phillip Curry, 30, also from the Bahamas, said he was just along to shop, but he had no money or credit cards, the report said.A drug-sniffing dog led officers to a hidden cabinet holding 37 kilogram-sized bags of cocaine. Another 51 bags were found elsewhere on the boat. Roberts told U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents that he was to get $2,000 and was given a phone number to call. Agreeing to cooperate, he called the number and spoke with Johnacio Smith, 33, of Lauderhill, who told him to sleep on the boat.The next day, Smith met a tow company employee at Phil Foster Park, where Smith was arrested with $2,000, the report said. Smith then led investigators to Michael Roberts, 29, of the Bahamas, the report said. He called Michael Roberts saying the tow company wanted more money. Roberts met Smith in Delray Beach and was also arrested, the report said.
Roberts told investigators he'd met Bahamian Anton Jones, 30, at the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood. Jones gave him $2,000 plus $800 to pay Smith and money for the boat tow, he said. Roberts called Jones to ask for more money for the tow. They met and Jones was arrested, the report said.The five were charged with conspiracy to import 92 kilos of cocaine into the United States, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
