Something isn't right in your description.
First of all, in Tennessee a conviction of DUI 3rd Offense requires 120 days day-for-day in jail.
Second, a case "closed" can mean anything from "case dismissed" to "defendant jumped bond and we will close the file until he is rearrested."
Find out the facts and try again.
