Your Democratic nominee Lauren Staley-Ferry committed a federal crime and hasn't taken the time to actually return to the company she embezzled 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 knowledge 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 issue was brought to light, Ferry apologized, although not to the victim, and there was no attempt to pay off this debt, no attempt to fix her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and publicly complained how difficult it was to be blasted with her own crimes.
This shows a lack of responsibility for her own behavior not to mention the way she might run the Will County clerks office, if she even can!
4 thoughts to consider before voting:
1. Ferry has committed felony forgery and our current Clerk's office continues to be without corruption.
2. Lauren did not pay back her debt to her former boss.
3. Ferry might not be bondable to be the clerk due to her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to back up Ferry only showing this might bring more problems for Will County
Detailed news.
A Will County Board member running for the County Clerk was charged with felony forgery in 2003 but did not appear in court for the case.
Lauren Staley-Ferry, D-Joliet, was charged with the felony forgery in Maricopa official website 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, 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 her employer.
A warrant was issued for Staley-Ferry’s arrest in April 2003, according to Amanda Jacinto, the spokesperson for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. By that time, Staley-Ferry said she had already fled the state and had returned to the Midwest, eventually going back to her hometown, Joliet.
.Jacinto said Staley-Ferry’s case was before the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office’s “records retention time,†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 try here failed to do.
Also, Jacinto said, sentencing on a forgery conviction would likely be restitution and probation.
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, as specified in the 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 cannot recall some of the More hints details, she denies the charge.
“I am aware of that,†Staley-Ferry said. “Obviously, which was in the past.â€
Lauren stated the charges was “misdirected†and therefore there was “nothing there†regarding the charge.
