A baseball coach is on administrative leave for allegedly contaminating a field with petroleum.

The Clearfield High School baseball field is shut down after the coach attempted to dry it out, according to the district.

The Davis County Health Department says a parent first reported a strong gasoline smell coming from the Clearfield High field, causing it to be tested on March 25th.

It was found that 15 to 20 gallons of gasoline and diesel were poured onto the field.
