Your Democrat candidate Lauren Staley Ferry committed a criminal offense and has not the time to actually pay back the organization she stole money 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 issue was brought to light, Ferry apologized, but not to the injured person, and there was no effort to repay this debt, no attempt to correct her wrong, rather she apologized and publicly talked about how difficult it was to be blasted with her own crimes.
This shows a lack of accountability for her actions let alone just how she may run the county clerks office, if she is able to!
4 thoughts to consider before voting:
1. Ferry has committed felony forgery and our current County Clerk's office continues to be without corruption.
2. Lauren did not repaid her debt to the victim.
3. Lauren may not even be bondable to be our clerk because of her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to support Ferry only showing this could bring more problems for Will County
Detailed news.
A Will County Board member running for the County about his Clerk was charged with felony forgery in 2003 but did not appear 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 removed a check from her place of employment at Independent Capital Group, then located in Scottsdale, Arizona, made it out to herself he said for an unknown amount and then deposited it into her personal checking account. The documents reported she did this without the knowledge or permission of her employer.
A warrant was issued for Staley-Ferry’s arrest in April 2003, according to Amanda Jacinto, a spokeswoman for the Maricopa Co. Attorney’s Office. By then, Staley-Ferry claimed she had already left the state and was back in 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. Full Report Instead, Jacinto said, it appears Staley-Ferry was sent a summons to appear in court, which she failed to do.
Also, Jacinto said, sentencing on a forgery conviction might probably be probation and restitution.
Lauren said she did not know about the charges until she had already left Arizona, although she said she did not recall exactly when she departed.
The charges were dropped in 2012, according to 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 change in the status in the case.
The Herald-News reached out to Staley-Ferry on Thursday, Lauren said, while she cannot recall the exact details, she rejects the charge.
“I am alerted to that,†Staley-Ferry said. “Obviously, which was many years ago.â€
She said the particular criminal charges was “misdirected†and that there were “nothing there†in regard to the charges.
