BATON ROUGE, (AP) —A miniature noose was found at the desk of two black state workers on Wednesday, triggering an investigation into whether its placement there was a violation of a new state law. State Police Col. Mike Edmonson said the workers found the twine, about 8 inches long and tied in the shape of a noose, on Wednesday in a Baton Rouge building used by the state’s homeland security agency.
