A man has been jailed after he rammed a stolen bulldozer into his local village pub.
Daniel Morgan, 35, of Aberdare, had been drinking at The New Inn in Cefn Rhigos, Rhondda Cynon Taf.
Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court heard Morgan, who was a regular at the pub, “saw red” after being taunted over the breakdown of his marriage.
The court heard Morgan stormed out of the pub, and texted the landlord saying “be careful, you can’t stop a dozer” and “it will be a drive-thru” before stealing the vintage Hanomag d600 from his father’s nearby farm.
Morgan previously pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicle taking, dangerous driving, and criminal damage recklessly endangering life. He was sentenced on Thursday (14 May) to 40 months in prison and disqualified from driving for three years and three months.
