ST. GEORGE — A former police officer was arrested by a Washington County sheriff's deputy who found him in a restaurant off I-15 with a girl reported as missing out of Layton hours earlier.
A Washington County sheriff's deputy responded after 9 p.m. Friday to southbound I-15 near the Sunriver exit in St. George shortly after a statewide notification was sent to all law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for a missing and endangered girl possibly traveling through the area.
The alert was issued by the Layton Police Department indicating the minor was believed to have left with a man not related to the girl, and authorities learned the man was heading south to Las Vegas in a light-colored Chevrolet Tahoe.
According to a police affidavit filed in support of the arrest, the SUV was registered to Philip Alan Rogers, 57, who was already under investigation in this case.
