		</div><p>Pennsylvania’s former top law enforcement officer, who served jail time for leaking secret investigative files and lying about it, has admitted violating her probation by being arrested for drink-driving in March.</p>
<p>Kathleen Kane, the first woman and first Democrat to be elected attorney general in the state, was sentenced to two months to a year of jail for the probation violation – but was given credit for time already served and was scheduled to be paroled directly to a residential treatment centre for alcohol use.</p>
<p>Kane appeared before the same judge who sentenced her in the original leak case.</p>
<p>“I was not anticipating seeing you again and I was hopeful we would not see you again in Montgomery County, but that’s been your choice, not mine,” Judge Wendy Demchick-Alloy told Kane in court.</p>
<p>Kane stood briefly and answered a series of routine questions.</p>
<p>She did not comment outside court.</p>
<p>Once a rising star in Pennsylvania politics, Kane resigned as attorney general after being convicted in 2016 of perjury, obstruction and other counts for leaking grand jury material to embarrass a rival prosecutor.</p>
<p>She served eight months of a 10-to-23-month sentence before being released in 2019.</p>
<p>On March 12, police in Scranton were called to the scene of a two-car crash and said they found Kane behind the wheel of an Audi.</p>
<p>Kane told responding officers she was a designated driver, but surveillance video showed she had been drinking alcohol at a Scranton restaurant shortly before the crash, according to an affidavit.</p>
<p>Kane had watery, bloodshot eyes and slurred her words — police said she had trouble saying the word “designated” — and failed a field sobriety test, the documents said.</p>
<p>Kane was charged with drink-driving and careless driving.</p>
<p>Four days later, a Montgomery County judge issued a bench warrant for her arrest on the alleged probation violation.</p>
<p>Kane is on probation until October 2025.</p>
<p>Kane, 55, had been jailed at Montgomery County Correctional Facility outside Philadelphia since April 29.</p>
