Your Democratic candidate Lauren Staley Ferry committed a criminal offense and has not the time to actually pay back the organization 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 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 crimes was brought to light, Ferry said she was sorry, but not to the injured person, and there was no attempt to pay off this debt, no attempt to remedy her wrong, rather she apologized and openly lamented how hard it was to be confronted with her own crimes.
This shows a lack of accountability for her own behavior let alone just how she may run the county clerks office, if she is able to!
4 things to think about before you vote:
1. Ferry has perpetrated felony theft while the current Clerk's office continues to be without corruption.
2. Ferry did not repaid her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Lauren might not even be bondable to be our clerk due to her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan dispatched his team to back up Ferry only demonstrating this might lead to more issues for Will County
More news.
A Will County Board member running for county clerk was charged with felony forgery in 2003 but never appeared in court 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 sites the charge was filed.
From the court documents, the charge alleged 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 an unknown amount and then deposited it into her personal 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, a spokeswoman for the Maricopa Co. Attorney’s Office. By that time, Staley-Ferry claimed she had already left Arizona and was back in the Midwest, eventually going back to look what i found Joliet, her hometown.
.Jacinto said Staley-Ferry’s case predates the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office’s “records retention time,†but that it appears 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 might probably be restitution and probation.
She said she was unaware of the charges until she was already out of Arizona, although she said she could not remember the exact time she left.
The criminal charges were dropped in 2012, according to court papers. Get the facts 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 reached out to Staley-Ferry on Thursday, she said, while she cannot recall some of the details, she denies the charge.
“I am conscious of that,†Staley-Ferry stated. “Obviously, that was in the past.â€
Staley-Ferris stated the criminal charges had been “misdirected†and that there were “nothing there†regarding the charge.
