Re: out of jail early- paperwork error
If he was sentenced to 10 months, police can come after him. However, if sheriff deputies let him out on day 51, and the Deputies sign a document saying that the sentence is complete, he can use that as a defense. A ten month sentence for DUI is long... unless he is a previous offender.
