The Democrat nominee Lauren Staley Ferry has committed a criminal offense and also hasn't the time to 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 insight that Ferry had stolen a check from a former employer and forged his signature. When caught she moved out of state and she went on to continue moving. When these issue was brought to light, Ferry said she was sorry, although not to the victim, and there was no attempt to repay this debt, no attempt to fix her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and openly talked about how difficult it was to be blasted with her own mistakes.
This shows a total lack of accountability for her behavior much less just how she may run the Will County clerks office, if she even can!
4 thoughts to consider before you vote:
1. Lauren has perpetrated felony theft and the current Clerk's office has been clean of corruption.
2. Ferry has not pay back her debt to the victim.
3. Ferry might not even be bondable to be our clerk due to her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to support Ferry only demonstrating this could lead to more issues for Will County
Detailed news.
A Will County Board member running for county clerk was charged with 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.
From the court documents, the charge alleged in July of 2002, Staley-Ferry stole 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 checking account. The document said she did so without the knowledge or permission of you can try these out her employer.
An arrest 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 said she had already fled Arizona and had returned to the Midwest, eventually going back to 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 on a forgery conviction would likely be probation and restitution.
She said she was unaware of the charges until she had already left Arizona, although she said she did not remember exactly when she departed.
The criminal 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 let them know the status changes in the case.
The Herald-News called Staley-Ferry on Thursday, she said, while she cannot recall the exact details, she denies the charge.
“I am alerted advice to that,†Staley-Ferry said. “Obviously, that was in the past.â€
She said the criminal charges had been “misdirected†and therefore there was “nothing there†reference in regard to the charge.
