Laxdal is the boy's basketball coach at Cavalier High School, where he also works as an instructional strategist, according to the school.
According to an affidavit, Laxdal was driving a load of sugar beets on behalf of truck owner Longtin Farms, who employed him part time during the harvest for the past eight years.
At around 8:30 p.m. Oct. 18, A Cavalier County sheriff's deputy was dispatched to Laxdal's property on reports of tipped over semi-tuck. The affidavit says the deputy spoke with Laxdal, who said he was trying to dump sugar beets to attract deer.
The deputy reported that truck owner Luke Longtin was also on scene and told him Laxdal was supposed to be transporting the beets to Bathgate, N.D., and did not have permission to stop by his land or drop beets there.
