A WOMAN accused of hitting a bouncer with a bottle in a nightclub told police her drink could have been spiked with the drug ecstasy, Worcester Crown Court was told.
Stevie Lamb is alleged to have carried out the attack as she was being ejected from Redwoods in Kidderminster on August 11 last year.
The 24-year-old denies unlawful wounding.
Trouble started on the dance floor at 11pm when Lamb and another woman became involved in a scuffle, said Samantha Crabb, prosecuting.
Doormen spotted what was going on and one of them, Matthew Lewis, took hold of the women and began ushering them out of the nightclub through a rear fire exit door.
They were both shouting and swearing and when he released his hold on them, Lamb raised her arm and brought down a bottle on his head.
The glass shattered and caused a cut on his eyebrow which needed stitches in hospital.
Lamb, of Warbler Place, Spennells, Kidderminster, was held overnight at the police station, said Miss Crabb, and next morning she said she could not remember attacking the doorman.
Although she had been drinking, she thought it was possible that someone had spiked her drink with ecstasy.
The trial continues.
