A charge of felony second-degree drug sale of a schedule I or II narcotic in a school zone and a third count of felony third-degree sale of a narcotic will be dropped at the sentencing.
Travis sold heroin to two police informants on three separate occasions, according to the complaint. On each occasion, the informants were searched, as were their vehicles, and provided with audio transmitters and buy money. They then surrendered the heroin to police at a designated meeting spot after each buy.
A review of Travis’s criminal history shows prior convictions for theft and third-degree possession of three grams or more of heroin.
A sentencing date has yet to be determined.
