She should engage counsel and get this cleared up. Commonly, if she had good reason, they can arrange to have her to report in Missouri or change her to a telephone rotting status.

She could possibly sit in jail for up to 93 days assuming it was a OUIL 1st. What has she done with her life down in Missouri? The judge will want to know.

If the only violation was the move out of state, her attorney can probably work out a fine and a dismissal of the balance of the probation "without improvement" or have probation changed to reporting by writing or to a local court in Missouri. Those arrangements have to be made in Michigan.
