Bail violation. 
Not to sound snarky, but…and?
[look of polite inquiry]
More MPSIMS, IMHO. 
Hey! Maybe it’s a ploy to further his pursuit of the real killer! Like, y’know, when reporters want to go undercover in the prison system for some investigative journalism, so they get themselves incarcerated as if they were real criminals and all, and they win the confidence of the inmates, and they get all this great stuff to do a Pulitzer-Prize-winning series, but OMG the paperwork gets lost or something so when they’re ready to leave no one believes they’re really just reporters and not actual, y’know, criminals and stuff, and the screws won’t let them call out to anybody that can help them, and their editors suddenly keel over with a heart attack or something and get carted off to the hospital so there’s no one at the newspaper who even knows where they are, and meanwhile some of the inmates start to suspect they’re not really who they say they are, but the inmates, especially Big Lou, think the reporters are undercover cops and their whole drug empire they’ve been running out of Cellblock D is gonna get blown wide open, so Big Lou’s enforcers come to the reporters’ cell one night, and they’ve got shivs and clubs they’ve secretly made in the prison machine shop, and they’ve got a key to the reporters’ cell coz they’ve bribed a guard, and
Wait, what?
It’s too bad you can’t be convicted for stupidity.
