If he was actually incarcerated on Rikers at the time he was supposed to report then evidence of that incarceration should clear him of any probation violation for not reporting. He may though be violated for the charge that brought him to Rikers unless he is cleared of it. He definitely needs to discuss this situation with his attorney as soon as possible.
