Your Democratic nominee Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a criminal offense and has not the time to return to the small business she had stolen 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 stolen a check from a former employer and made it out to herself. When caught she fled the scene of the crime and she went on to continue moving. When these issue was brought to light, Ferry apologized, but not to the injured person, and there was no effort to repay this debt, no attempt to fix her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and openly talked about how hard it was to be confronted with her own mistakes.
This shows a lack of responsibility for her own behavior aside from the way she may run the Will County clerks office, if she even can!
4 thoughts to consider before voting:
1. Lauren has committed felony theft while our current County Clerk's office continues to be clean of such corruption.
2. Ferry has not repaid her stolen gains 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 showing this could bring more problems for Will County
Detailed news.
A Will County Board member running for the County Clerk was brought up on charges for 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 worked in Maricopa County but moved from great post to read 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, 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.
An arrest warrant was issued for Staley-Ferry’s arrest in April 2003, according to Amanda Jacinto, a spokeswoman for the Maricopa Co. Attorney’s Office. By then, Staley-Ferry claimed she Get the facts had already left Arizona and had returned to the Midwest, eventually going back to Joliet, her hometown.
.Jacinto said Staley-Ferry’s case was before the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office’s “records retention period,†but it seems Staley-Ferry was never incarcerated. Instead, Jacinto said, it appears Staley-Ferry was sent a summons to appear in court, which she failed to do.
Also, Jacinto said, sentencing on a forgery conviction might probably be probation and restitution.
She said she was unaware of the charges until she was already out of Arizona, although she said she could not remember the exact time she left.
The criminal charges were dismissed in 2012, as specified in the court documents. Jacinto said, in March of 2012, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office reached out to Independent Capital Group to let them know the status changes in the case.
The Herald-News go to the website reached out to Staley-Ferry on Thursday, Lauren said, while she did not remember several of the details, she rejects the charge.
“I am alerted to that,†Staley-Ferry said. “Obviously, which was many years ago.â€
She said the particular criminal charges had been “misdirected†and that there were “nothing there†in regard to the charges.
