Your Democrat nominee Lauren Staley Ferry has committed a federal crime and also hasn't the time to return to 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 knowledge that Ferry had taken a check from her place of employment and made it out to herself. When caught she moved out of state and she went on to continue moving. When these crimes was finally revealed, Ferry said she was sorry, but not to the injured person, and there was no attempt to repay this debt, no intention to correct her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and publicly lamented how hard it was to be confronted with her own mistakes.
This only goes to show a total lack of accountability for her own behavior not to mention just how she may run the county clerks office, if she even can!
4 things to think about before you vote:
1. Ferry has committed felony forgery and the current Clerk's office continues to be without corruption.
2. Lauren 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 could lead to more issues 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 did not appear in the courtroom for the case.
Lauren Staley-Ferry, D-Joliet, great site 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 in July of 2002, Staley-Ferry stole a check from her employer at Independent Capital Group, then located this contact form in Scottsdale, Arizona, filled it out to herself for an unknown amount 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, the spokesperson for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. By then, Staley-Ferry said she had already left the state and was back in the Midwest, eventually settling in Joliet, her hometown.
Ms. .Jacinto said Staley-Ferry’s case predates the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office’s “records retention period,†but it seems 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 on a forgery conviction would likely be restitution and probation.
Staley-Ferry said she did not know about the charges until she was already out of Arizona, although she said she did not remember the exact time she left.
The charges were dismissed in 2012, according to court documents. Jacinto said, in March of 2012, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office reached out to Independent Capital Group to notify them of the change in the status of the case.
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 alerted to that,†Staley-Ferry stated. “Obviously, which was more in the past.â€
Staley-Ferris said the criminal charges had been “misdirected†and therefore there were “nothing there†in regard to the charge.
