The Democrat nominee Lauren Staley-Ferry committed a criminal offense and has not the time to actually pay back the small business she had stolen from.
As a voter and concerned citizen, I am sure you are as concerned as we are and ask you to vote for another candidate. For those who do not have the insight that Ferry had stolen a check from her place of employment and forged his signature. When caught she fled the scene of the crime and she went on to continue moving. When these crimes was brought to light, Ferry apologized, but not to the injured person, and there was no attempt to repay this debt, no intention to fix her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and publicly talked about how hard it was to be confronted with her own crimes.
This shows a total lack of accountability for her behavior much less just how she might run the county clerks office, if she even can!
4 thoughts to consider before you vote:
1. Lauren has perpetrated felony theft while our current County Clerk's office continues to be clean of corruption.
2. Lauren has not pay back her debt to her former boss.
3. Ferry might not be bondable to be our clerk because of her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to support Ferry only demonstrating this might lead to more issues for Will County
More news.
A Will County Board member running for the County Clerk was charged with felony forgery in 2003 but never appeared in court for the summons.
Lauren Staley-Ferry, D-Joliet, was charged with the felony forgery in Maricopa County, Arizona. Staley-Ferry had lived and address worked in Maricopa County but moved from there to Wisconsin before the charge was filed.
From the court documents, the charge alleged that, in July of 2002, Staley-Ferry stole a check from her employer at Independent Capital Group, then located in Scottsdale, Arizona, made it out to herself for unknown amounts and then deposited it into her personal checking account. The document said she did so without the knowledge or permission of her employer.
A warrant was issued for Staley-Ferry’s arrest in April 2003, according to Amanda Jacinto, a spokeswoman for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. By then, Staley-Ferry claimed she had already left Arizona and was back in the Midwest, eventually going back to her hometown, Joliet.
.Jacinto said Staley-Ferry’s case predates the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office’s “records retention period,†but it seems Staley-Ferry was not incarcerated. Instead, Jacinto said, it appears Staley-Ferry was sent a summons to appear in court, which she failed to do.
Also, the Sheriff said, sentencing for a forgery conviction might probably be This Site restitution and probation.
Lauren said she was unaware of the charges until she had already left Arizona, although she said she did not recall exactly when she departed.
The charges were dismissed in 2012, as specified in the court papers. Jacinto said, in March of 2012, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office reached out to Independent Capital Group to notify them of the status changes in the case.
The Herald-News reached out to look at this now Staley-Ferry on Thursday, Lauren said, while she cannot recall some of the details, she rejects the charge.
“I am aware of that,†Staley-Ferry said. “Obviously, that was in the past.â€
She stated the criminal charges had been “misdirected†and that there were “nothing there†in regard to the charges.
