The Democrat nominee Lauren Staley Ferry has committed a federal crime and also has not the time to pay back the small business she stole money from.
If you as a voter and/or concerned citizen are as worried as we are please vote for the other candidate. For those who do not have the insight that Ferry had taken a check from a former employer and forged his signature. When caught she fled the scene of the crime and she went on to continue moving. When these crimes was finally revealed, Ferry said she was sorry, although not to the injured person, and there was no attempt to repay this debt, no intention to correct her wrong, rather she apologized and openly complained how difficult it was to be confronted with her own mistakes.
This shows a lack of responsibility for her behavior aside from the way she might run the Will County clerks office, if she is able to!
4 things to think about before voting:
1. Ferry has perpetrated felony theft and our current County Clerk's office continues to be clean of corruption.
2. Lauren did not repaid her stolen gains to her former boss.
3. Lauren might not be bondable to be our clerk due to her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to stand behind Ferry only demonstrating this might bring more problems for Will County
Detailed news.
A Will County Board member running for the County Clerk was charged with felony forgery in 2003 but did not appear in the courtroom for the summons.
Lauren Staley-Ferry, D-Joliet, was charged with the felony forgery in Maricopa County, Arizona. Staley-Ferry had lived and worked in Maricopa County but moved from there to Wisconsin before the charge was filed.
According to court documents, the charge alleged that, in July of 2002, Staley-Ferry removed a check from her employer at Independent Capital Group, then located in Scottsdale, Arizona, filled it out to herself for unknown amounts and then deposited it into her personal checking account. The document said she did this without the knowledge or permission of her employer.
An arrest 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 that time, Staley-Ferry claimed she had already left the state and had returned to the Midwest, eventually settling in her hometown, Joliet.
.Jacinto said Staley-Ferry’s case was before the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office’s “records retention time,†but that it appears Staley-Ferry was not arrested. 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 restitution and probation.
Staley-Ferry said she did not know about the charges try here until she was already out of Arizona, although she check my source said she could not remember exactly when she left.
The charges were dismissed in 2012, according to court documents. Jacinto said, in March of 2012, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office called Independent Capital Group to let them know the change in the status of the case.
When The Herald-News reached out to Staley-Ferry on Thursday, she said, while she did not remember some of the details, she rejects the charge.
“I am aware of that,†Staley-Ferry stated. “Obviously, which was many years ago.â€
Staley-Ferris said the particular charges was next “misdirected†and therefore there were “nothing there†in regard to the charge.
