Davenport Man Sentenced to Prison for Drug and Firearm Offenses

On September 2, 2020, Holloway pleaded guilty to three counts of a nine-count indictment. The investigation began in December 2017 when law enforcement identified Holloway following a pursuit and located 33 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia inside the vehicle. In August 2018, Holloway was involved in a hit and run vehicle crash in Davenport, and, while fleeing the scene, threw marijuana, cocaine, and prescription pills into a nearby dumpster. In December 2018, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Holloway’s residence and seized cocaine, marijuana, a .45 caliber Glock 30 handgun, a .223 caliber Palmetto Arms rifle, and ammunition. In July 2019, law enforcement located Holloway in a vehicle with methamphetamine, crack cocaine, marijuana, morphine and fentanyl, prescription pills, and a loaded .40 caliber Glock 22 handgun. Holloway admitted possessing the firearms in this case in connection with and furtherance of his drug trafficking activities. As a convicted felon, Holloway was prohibited from owning or possessing firearms and ammunition.

This matter was investigated by the Davenport Police Department, Drug Enforcement Agency, and the Scott County Sheriff’s Office. This case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
