This doesn't make sense. If he violated a condition of probation, it could mean an automatic sentencing enhancement or he was notified but told he wasn't.
Either way, you will not be able to find out. If he believes he didn't violate any conditions and he truly wasn't informed, didn't even have an inkling, try the dept of corrections probation section and find out or contact his public defender. If he prefers to speak with private counsel, try www.attornyepages.com.
