    Very likely, did you ask her how you were to get there ?

    Did you call her and let her know you would not show up.

    If this is a private probation company they are less likely to violate you.

    But you need to be calling her and seeing what you can do

    Sounds like you have a jerk for a P.O. I'm not too sure what they'll do if you don't show up for the testing. He/She wouldn't reschedule an appointment for you? He/She probably thinks you're trying to hide something. (NOT saying you are!) That's probably why he/she said they'd put you in violation.
