Family ties up in smoke at pot trial

Blood is thicker than water — but not weed.

The latest witness against an accused father-and-son pot distribution crew was an admitted drug dealer whose sister had a child with one of the defendants.

Anthony Blake’s connection with Winston Cargill didn’t stop him from testifying Tuesday against Cargill and his son Tammeco Cargill (photo) in a drug and racketeering case in Brooklyn Federal Court.

Neither did the family tie stop Blake from wearing a wire for the feds, who told him to arrange a marijuana deal with Tammeco Cargill.

After Winston Cargill was arrested in 2014, Blake was arrested the same day, and the only way he could see out of the mess was to work with authorities to bring down the son, Blake said.

“They give me a recorder to record the conversation,” Blake told jurors.

But the conversation he recorded with the wire didn’t yield anything incriminating. Blake, 38, hopes his testimony will convince a judge to cut him a break on gun and conspiracy to distribute marijuana charges.

The Jamaican-born Blake is also hoping his cooperation can keep him from being deported.

“I would go to Church and 45th with Winston Cargill. We would go down to the basement to pick up marijuana,” Blake said. “They would be wrapping it in a green plastic bag, inside duffel bags.”

Blake said he also saw the younger Cargill armed.

Tammeco Cargill is accused of shooting to death a rival on a Flatbush streetcorner in 2007, and wounding two women who witnessed the attack.

Prosecutors said the younger Cargill, 36, shot and killed Robert Dixon.in retaliation for an earlier attack.
