35-year-old British man Daniel Morgan received a three-and-a-half-year prison sentence for destroying a pub in the Welsh town of Aberdare. It was revealed during the trial that the establishment was one of the defendant's favorites, where he often enjoyed a drink after work.





It turned out that the incident was motivated by a conflict between Daniel and a bartender that occurred back in December of last year, according to a statement from the British police press service.

Police determined that on December 4, 2025, the convicted man got into an altercation with a worker at the New Inn pub. Daniel demanded more drinks, but the bartender refused the heavily intoxicated worker. The worker left the pub, promising to "come back" and then bulldozed the pub.

It later emerged that the drunk man drove to a neighboring farm, broke the lock on a barn, and stole a bulldozer. Daniel subsequently drove onto the town's main street, and on the way to the pub, he caused an accident, striking and overturning an Isuzu truck.

The man reached the pub and crashed twice into the front porch, causing significant damage. A passerby attempted to stop Morgan by blocking the road with a trailer and a pickup truck, but he ran over both.



Finally, the drunken Mr. Morgan's relatives arrived in their own excavator, whose bucket stopped the bulldozer. The man was arrested right in the cab and taken to the hospital with a broken face and tens of times over the legal limit for alcohol consumption.

On May 14 of this year, a local court found Morgan guilty of vandalism and criminal damage. He will have to serve three and a half years behind bars and pay £5,000 in damages.

"This was a reckless and targeted attack on a pub. [Mr.] Morgan caused significant damage to both the pub itself and several vehicles. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured. He will now serve his sentence in prison, where he will have time to reflect on his actions," Detective Sergeant Jenna Herbert, a spokesperson for South Wales Police, commented on the court's decision.
