Instead of prison time, Travis must serve 20 years of probation, adhere to 16 conditions and pay $85 in fines and fees.
He was also sentenced to 180 days in jail, but received credit for 175 days served. He will have to serve out the remaining five days.
Travis was arrested during a traffic stop
last year after police learned he had an outstanding warrant. Police found nine plastic bags of heroin on him, about 4.04 grams.
Also on Thursday, Travis pleaded not guilty to a charge of felony second-degree drug sale of a schedule I or II narcotic in a school zone and three counts of felony third-degree drug sale of a narcotic.
According to the court complaint, Travis sold heroin to two police informants on three separate occasions. His pre-trial for these charges is scheduled for Feb. 9.
