       Crutchley was caught out when a woman who worked at the pub - but was off duty at the time - spotted what she had done.

       The off-duty worker suggested she pay for the food - but the hungry punter was quick to lash out.

       Crutchley threw her glass of gin at the woman, causing it to smash against her arm.

       The woman was rushed to hospital and left needing stitches.

       Prosecutor Rachel Pennington told Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court: "The defendant shouted, 'Do you want to go, do you want to go'?

       "She picked up a drink and threw the glass and contents at her.

       "Security went to intervene. The defendant picked up her drink in a gin glass and struck it out towards the woman.

       "The complainant raised her arm to protect her face.

       "The victim said the glass was thrown at her. She kept her arms raised. The glass smashed against her left arm."

       Ms Pennington said the row broke out at the pub at 9.30pm on August 14 last year.

       The victim went to hospital where she received six stitches to a cut.

       Crutchley, of Springhill Terrace, Rugeley, pleaded guilty to wounding.

       She was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for 12 months.

       'EXTREMELY DANGEROUS'

       Saleema Mahmood, mitigating, said the defendant is of previous good

       character.

       She said: "The glass was thrown. It was done recklessly. The injury was minimal.

       "She is extremely remorseful."

       As part of the suspended sentence Crutchley must complete a rehabilitation activity requirement for 20 days and 120 hours unpaid work.

       She must also pay her victim ￡500 compensation.

       Judge David Fletcher said: "Your response to being challenged was to throw liquid at her. You picked up a second glass. It was reckless, foolish and extremely dangerous.

       "It is a nasty injury.

       "You expressed your remorse. You are of good character.

       "You are in work. I hope the consequences of this will not affect your

       ability to continue with your chosen career."
