Virginia Man Sentenced To 180 Months In Prison For Possession With Intent To Distribute Fentanyl
Djavon Holland, 37, of Virginia, was convicted on April 15, 2024, by a federal jury of two counts of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl following trial before U.S. District Judge Peter G. Sheridan in Trenton federal court. U.S. District Judge Robert Kirsch imposed the sentence today in Trenton federal court.
In August 2021, law enforcement officials received information that Holland was engaged in narcotics trafficking in or around the Virginia area and New Jersey. On Aug. 12, 2021, a confidential source working with the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office contacted Holland to arrange a meeting with a confidential source working with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). On several occasions, Holland drove to New Jersey and sold fentanyl to ATF's confidential source.
In addition to the prison term, Judge Kirsch sentenced Holland to 4 years of supervised release.
U.S. Attorney Sellinger credited special agents of the ATF, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge L.C. Cheeks Jr., and the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office, under the direction of Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer, with the investigation leading to the sentencing.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Megan N. Linares and Jenny Chung of the Office's Criminal Division in Newark.
