An angry drunk who left a petrol bomb under a pub landlord's car has avoided jail.
Alan Mangan made a Molotov cocktail and placed it under a Range Rover belonging to Ray Woods, who is the licensee of the Tulketh Tap Room, in Preston, Lancashire. Mangan, 51, did it as revenge for Mr Woods throwing him out of the micropub a month earlier, Preston Crown Court heard.
Mangan had been chucked out in July 2021 after throwing tables and chairs during a 'disturbance', the court was told. In August, he came back and was seen placing a plastic bottle with a flaming rag under the car, LancsLive reports. Mangan was then seen sitting in his own car, close to the scene.
