NEW: Allentown, Pennsylvania employee LaTarsha Brown charged after placing a noose at her own desk to stage a hate crime. Jussie Smollett would be proud. About two months ago, Brown reported finding a noose at her desk at City Hall. Police requested DNA samples of people who were working in the office at the time of the incident. According to Capt. Steve Milkovits, every employee at the office agreed except for Brown. The Pennsylvania State Police Forensic DNA Division later released a report revealing that the DNA on the noose matched Brown's DNA. Brown worked for the city’s community and economic development department. She faces misdemeanor charges including making false reports and fabricating physical evidence.
