She violated probation by not following the terms of the probation. The judge has the option of allowing the state to plea bargain or handling the violation. The probation can be reinstated and terminated successfully, reinstated and extended, terminated unsuccessfully, or revoked. If that is the only violation (which would be rare) then I would think that the court would simply terminate the probation. Hire her a lawyer to talk on her behalf.
