NORFOLK, Va. - A Norfolk man was sentenced today to seven years in prison for distribution of cocaine and using a firearm in a drug trafficking crime.

According to court documents, from Jan. 28, 2025, to Feb. 13, 2025, Dyron Eugene Holloway, 36, sold cocaine during three transactions in Virginia Beach and another transaction in Norfolk. During the Norfolk transaction, Holloway also sold a handgun in addition to over 27 grams of cocaine.

During a search of Holloways vehicle, investigators recovered additional cocaine, marijuana, and a digital scale. Investigators also searched Holloway's hotel room and recovered additional cocaine, another firearm, a firearm scope, and a magazine with 29 rounds of ammunition.

Among other previous convictions, Holloway was convicted in 2012 for assault and battery on law enforcement and in 2024 for possession of a firearm with a schedule I or II drug. As a convicted felon, Holloway cannot legally possess firearms or ammunition.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Washington Field Division and the Virginia Beach Police Department investigated this case.
