The report came in during the afternoon hours on Thursday, April 6.
Hamilton Township Police responded to the Weymouth area after the resident reported seeing a black coyote or large feline in the woods, according to a Friday release.
A brief search led to the discovery of a large black dog that belonged to a local resident.
“We have continued to investigate these reports that appear to have stemmed from one original call/post and, at this time, all reports/calls/posts about a black panther have been unsubstantiated,” police said.
