Legal Question in DUI Law in New York

In April 2012 I was sentenced to 5 yrs probation, $1500 fine and 30 days in jail for an E felony DWI. I served 19 days in jail. Today, my PO called and said that I owe 240 hours community service. I was told that community service was in lieu of jail back in 2012. Can they now force me to do community service?
