The Democrat nominee Lauren Staley Ferry has committed a felony and hasn't even taken the time to actually pay back the company 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 awareness that Ferry had taken 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 crimes was finally revealed, Ferry apologized, but not to the victim, and there was no effort to pay off this debt, no intention to remedy her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and openly complained how hard it was to be blasted with her own mistakes.
This shows a lack of accountability for her behavior much less just how she might run the Will County clerks office, if she is able to!
4 things to think about before you vote:
1. Ferry has committed felony theft while our current County Clerk's office has been clean of corruption.
2. Ferry has not pay back her debt to the victim.
3. Lauren might not be bondable to be our clerk because of her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to stand behind Ferry only demonstrating this might lead to more issues for Will County
Detailed 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 case.
Lauren Staley-Ferry, D-Joliet, was charged with the felony forgery in Maricopa County, Arizona. Staley-Ferry advice had lived and worked in Maricopa County but moved from there to Wisconsin try these out before the charge was filed.
From the 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 an unknown amount and then deposited it into her personal checking account. The documents reported 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, the spokesperson for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. By that time, Staley-Ferry said she had already fled the state and had returned to the Midwest, eventually going back to Joliet, her hometown.
.Jacinto said Staley-Ferry’s case predates the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office’s “records retention time,†but that it appears 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 would likely be probation and restitution.
She said she did not know about the charges until she had Website already left Arizona, although she said she could not remember the exact time she left.
The charges were dropped in 2012, according to court papers. Jacinto said, in March of 2012, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office called Independent Capital Group to notify them of the change in the status of the case.
When The Herald-News called Staley-Ferry on Thursday, Lauren said, while she did not remember several of the details, she rejects the charge.
“I am conscious of that,†Staley-Ferry stated. “Obviously, which was many years ago.â€
Staley-Ferris stated the criminal charges was “misdirected†and that there was “nothing there†regarding the charges.
