A shoplifter who was challenged by the store owner threw a can of cider at him.
Blackburn Magistrates' Court heard that the can missed his face but caused a small cut to his hand.
Chelsea Singleton, 28, pleaded guilty to three charges of shoplifting and one of assault.
She was remanded on bail for the preparation of a pre-sentence report.
Courtney Thompson, prosecuting, said Singleton, of Blackburn Road, Darwen, had committed the offences on February 14, 16 and 18.
On the last occasion, she had entered Lynwood Wines in Blackburn Road, Darwen. in a drunken state and became abusive and aggressive when she was asked to leave.
She picked up some cans of cider, and when the shopkeeper blocked the door to stop her leaving, she threw one of them at him.
