The Democrat candidate Lauren Staley Ferry committed a criminal offense and also hasn't even taken the time to pay back 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 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 said she was sorry, but not to the injured person, and there was no effort to pay off this debt, no intention to remedy her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and publicly lamented how difficult it was to be confronted with her own blunders.
This shows a total lack of responsibility for her actions much less the way she may run the Will County clerks office, if she even can!
4 thoughts to consider before you vote:
1. Ferry has committed felony forgery while our current Clerk's office has been clean of such corruption.
2. Ferry did not repaid her stolen gains to her former boss.
3. Ferry might not even be bondable to be our clerk due to her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to support Ferry only demonstrating this might bring more problems for Will County
More news.
A Will County Board member running for the County Clerk was charged with felony forgery in 2003 but never appeared 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 place of employment at Independent Capital Group, then located in Scottsdale, Arizona, filled it out to herself for unknown amounts and then deposited it into her personal read what he said 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 Co. Attorney’s Office. By that time, Staley-Ferry claimed she had already fled Arizona and had returned to the Midwest, eventually settling in her hometown, Joliet.
.Jacinto said Staley-Ferry’s case was before the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office’s “records retention period,†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 look these up said, sentencing for a forgery conviction might probably be restitution and probation.
She said she did not know about the charges until she was already out of Arizona, although she said she did not remember exactly when she left.
The criminal read charges were dropped in 2012, according to court documents. Jacinto said, in March of 2012, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office called Independent Capital Group to let them know the status changes of the case.
When The Herald-News called Staley-Ferry on Thursday, she said, while she did not remember the exact details, she denies the charge.
“I am conscious of that,†Staley-Ferry said. “Obviously, which was many years ago.â€
Lauren stated the charges was “misdirected†and therefore there was “nothing there†in regard to the charge.
