ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WKBW) — Orchard Park Police spent hours searching a ravine near Highmark Stadium after reports of a missing person, but police later called off the search saying no one was found and they don't believe anyone was ever in danger.

Police say they initially got reliable information that a man wearing a Cole Beasley jersey and jeans was headed toward the wooded area/ravine near Shadow Lane and California Road.
