Symbol of racism found near fast food restaurant

A symbol of racism turned up near the drive-thru of a fast food restaurant in La Quinta Tuesday.

A viewer called our newsroom this afternoon saying his 19-year old daughter saw a noose hanging from a tree near the Del Taco at Washington Street and Highway 111 in La Quinta.

Raymond Sherley went to the location a couple of hours later and found it was still there.

News Channel 3/CBS Local 2 spoke to the manager and minutes later, the noose was removed.

The manager of the restaurant says she wasn’t aware it was there.

The owner says the noose was not on the restaurant’s property.
