The Democrat candidate Lauren Staley Ferry has committed a criminal offense and also hasn't even taken the time to actually pay back the company 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 awareness 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 finally revealed, Ferry apologized, but not to the victim, and there was no attempt to pay off this debt, no intention to correct her wrong, rather she apologized and publicly talked about how difficult it was to be confronted with her own blunders.
This only goes to show a total lack of responsibility for her own 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 forgery and the current Clerk's office continues to be without such corruption.
2. Ferry did not pay back her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Ferry may not even be bondable to be the clerk because of her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to back up Ferry only demonstrating this could bring more problems for Will County
Detailed news.
A Will County Board member running for county clerk was brought up on charges for felony forgery in 2003 but never appeared 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 stole a check from her place of employment 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 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, the spokesperson for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. By that time, Staley-Ferry said she had already left the state and had returned to the Midwest, eventually settling in her hometown, Joliet.
Ms. .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 arrested. Instead, Jacinto said, it appears Staley-Ferry was sent a summons to appear in court, which she failed to do.
Also, Jacinto said, sentencing important source for a forgery conviction would likely be restitution and probation.
Staley-Ferry said she was unaware of the charges until she had already left Arizona, although she said she did not recall exactly when 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 i loved this Staley-Ferry on Thursday, Lauren said, while she cannot recall some of the details, she denies the charge.
“I am aware of that,†Staley-Ferry said. “Obviously, which was in the past.â€
Lauren said the particular charges had been “misdirected†and that there was “nothing there†in regard helpful hints to the charges.
