A Yonkers man who snuck onto Rikers Island by allegedly impersonating a Department of Correction employee — and even moved inmates between cells — was busted yesterday, sources said.
Matthew Matagrano, 36, was arrested last night at a DOC facility.
The DOC didn’t notice until Thursday that Matagrano — who had access to Rikers for at least a week — had been entering the facility.
He raised the suspicions of Rikers guards when he moved inmates from one cell to another, but he wasn’t collared at that time, a law-enforcement source said.
The convicted sex offender last made headlines in 2004 when he used Department of Education ID to sneak into a Queens school and look through confidential student records.
