    Drugs Naked granddad high on drugs trashed hotel room and caused £48,000 of damage

    By Philip Dewey & Abigail O'Leary - The Mirror




    A grandfather high on drugs caused £48,000 worth of damage to a hotel room.

    Co-owner of Heritage Hotel in Porthcawl, Dale Smith, found Michael Turner, 52, naked with the shower running after guests complained of leaking water.

    A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Tuesday heard Mr Smith and his mother attended the hotel and called the police, reports WalesOnline.

    Upon their arrival, Mr Smith entered the room and discovered it had been "completely trashed". A desk and a wardrobe had been damaged and the glass in the shower had been smashed and pulled into the living area.

    The shower was still running and leaking heavily through the floor onto the rooms below.

    Turner was naked, incoherent, and appeared to be under the influence of drink and drugs. He was arrested but denied being responsible for causing the damage, describing the room as being in "perfect condition" the previous night. The defendant later said he "can't remember" committing the offence.



    Prosecutor Andrew Kendal said there was substantial damage to walls, carpets, and electrics. The total amount of the damage caused came to more than £48,000.

    Mr Smith decided to repair some of the damage himself and has spent up to £10,000. The room is now in a "good condition" but further work has been carried out.

    The defendant, now of HMP Parc, later pleaded guilty to criminal damage. The court heard he has 36 previous convictions including damage to property and burglary.



    Defence barrister Andrew Taylor said his client had a long history with substance misuse and described him acting "erratic and in an unusual way" prior to damaging the hotel room.

    He said: "[Turner] tells me he needs to start rebuilding his life." He said the defendant has mental health difficulties and had split up from his partner of 24 years but wanted to rebuild relationships with his children and grandchildren.

    Sentencing, Judge David Wynn Morgan said: "You had an addiction to Class A drugs and the offence was committed while you were under the influence of controlled drugs."

    Turner was sentenced to a total of 14 and a half months imprisonment.
