The Democratic nominee Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a criminal offense and also has not the time to actually 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 awareness 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 brought to light, Ferry said she was sorry, but not to the victim, and there was no attempt to pay off this debt, no attempt to remedy her wrong, rather she apologized and openly complained how hard it was to be confronted with her own mistakes.
This only goes to show a total lack of accountability for her own actions aside from the way she might run the county clerks office, if she is able to!
4 things to think about before you vote:
1. Lauren has committed felony forgery and our current Clerk's office continues to be clean of such corruption.
2. Ferry did not repaid her debt to the victim.
3. Ferry might not even be bondable to be our clerk because of her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched 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 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, 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.
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 unknown amounts and then deposited it into her personal checking go to this site account. The document said she did so without the knowledge or permission of her employer.
A warrant was issued for Staley-Ferry’s web link arrest in April 2003, according to Amanda Jacinto, a spokeswoman for the Maricopa Co. Attorney’s Office. By then, Staley-Ferry said she had already left the state and was back in 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 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, the Sheriff said, sentencing on 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 could not remember exactly when she departed.
The criminal charges were dismissed in 2012, as specified in the court papers. Jacinto said, in March of 2012, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office reached out to Independent Capital Group to notify them of the status changes in the case.
When The Herald-News reached out to Staley-Ferry on Thursday, Lauren said, while she cannot recall some of the details, she rejects the charge.
“I am conscious of that,†Staley-Ferry stated. “Obviously, that was many years ago.â€
Lauren from this source said the charges was “misdirected†and therefore there were “nothing there†regarding the charge.
