So she did & i felled wpot n my system but she didn’t violate me she just gave me 3 more months on probation. Can she do this after i paid 4 all my fines & probation fees n full? I really need 2 know the answer to my question thank you.

Yes, she can do this, I would think, although I'm not a Tennessee lawyer. If you want to get a firm opinion, talk to a local attorney, and one place to look for counsel is our website, http://attorneypages.com
You failed the drug test, and I'm sure that one of the conditions of your probation was that you weren't allowed to use drugs or otherwise break the law, and I'm also pretty sure that drug testing was part of the deal as well.
She probably could have violated you, and just giving you another three months was cutting you a break.
