ALLENTOWN, Pa. - An Allentown city employee, accused of planting a noose on her own desk and claiming it was an act of racism, is headed to trial. Latarsha Brown, who works in the city's Department of Community and Economic Development, made the claim in January. Brown was in court Tuesday morning, April 22. Latarsha Brown waived her preliminary hearing, and did not speak on the charges. Her attorney Michael Walker says that waiver has nothing to do with innocence or guilt.
