A PUB landlord found a young drunken woman asleep behind the bar after she allegedly broke in and drank booze.
A worker at the Cotes Park Inn said the landlord found the woman surrounded by empty bottles and broken optics.
She said he was woken by a noise inside the Somercotes boozer at 7.40am and went downstairs to investigate.
When he walked into the lounge of the pub he found the woman "unconscious and slumped."
She said: "He told me he felt quite sick because he couldn't rouse her and thought she might be dead.
"She was surrounded by empty bottles, WKD, Sol, even some fruit juice and non-alcoholic drinks.
"It looks like someone tried to smash a window to gain entry and then kicked in a front panel on the door and then climbed in."
She said a cleaner managed to rouse the alleged offender and the police and an ambulance crew arrived to treat her.
A force spokesman confirmed a 22-year-old local woman in in custody helping them with their enquiries.
He said: "We arrested a 22-year-old woman on suspicion of burglary and will be questioning her later today."
