OGDEN — The second full day of searching along a turbulent seven-block stretch of the Weber River failed to find 4-year-old Corbin Anderson, who is presumed drowned after he accidentally fell into the murky water during a family photo session.

Personnel will resume the search for Corbin today at 7 a.m.

About 60 people — including members of the Davis and Weber county sheriffs’ offices; the Utah Department of Public Safety; the Ogden Police Department; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and the FBI — participated in Monday’s effort. Members of the American Red Cross were also on hand. There were 100 searchers Sunday, said Ogden Police Lt. Danielle Croyle.

OGDEN — The Ogden Police Department hired a former Utah Highway Patrol sergeant six months after he was fired for repeatedly punching a woman after a vehicle pursuit.

Andrew L. Davenport was hired by the police department in June 2011, according to the city’s Human Resources Department records.

Davenport’s employment status with the city has surfaced in connection with the release of a Utah Career Service Review Office report from an October 2011 hearing in which Davenport appealed his firing from the UHP.
