Reuters reports that Randy Travis has successfully avoided going to jail for threatening a Texas police officer back in August, 2012:
The Grammy winner will serve 90 days of deferred adjudication under a plea he entered on Friday in a municipal court in Plano, a Dallas suburb, the CBS-affiliated station in Dallas/Forth Worth reported.
Deferred adjudication lets a defendant plead “guilty” or “no contest” in exchange for meeting requirements such as probation during the period. The defendant may avoid a formal conviction or have his case dismissed once the requirements are met.
