Marisa Powell alleges a noose made out of cable wires was hung from a support beam over her desk last month at a Verizon office in Madison, New Jersey.

An African-American woman who says she has been stalked and harassed by a coworker and last month discovered a noose made of wires on her desk is suing her employer, claiming Verizon never took action about her allegations.
Marisa Powell, a 30-year Verizon employee, alleges in the lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Trenton, New Jersey, that in June 2015 she was stalked at work and yelled at by a white coworker while working at the company's Morristown office. The alleged harassment was immediately reported numerous times to supervisors and union representatives, however, neither took action, the lawsuit states.
