Run through to find the little devil having a drink (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impale

'run through' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the little devil having a drink' is the wordplay.
'the little devil' becomes 'imp' (I've seen this before).
'having' says to put letters next to each other.
'a drink' becomes 'ale' (type of beer).
'imp'+'ale'='IMPALE'

'to find' is the link.

(Other definitions for impale that I've seen before include "Puncture" , "Pierce, run through" , "Kill by piercing with a spear or sharp pole" , "Pierce with a sharp stake" , "Pierce with pointed stick" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
