Your Democrat candidate Lauren Staley Ferry committed a federal crime and also hasn't taken the time to actually pay back the organization she embezzled from.
As a voter and concerned citizen, I am sure you are as concerned as we are and ask you to vote for another candidate. For those who do not have the awareness that Ferry had stolen a check from her place of employment 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 attempt to pay off this debt, no intention to remedy her wrong, rather she apologized and publicly lamented how difficult it was to be confronted with her own mistakes.
This shows a lack of accountability for her behavior not to mention the way she might run the Will County clerks office, if she is able to!
4 thoughts to consider before you vote:
1. Lauren has perpetrated felony forgery and our current Clerk's office has been without corruption.
2. Lauren did not pay back her stolen gains to her former boss.
3. Ferry may not be bondable to be the clerk due to her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to support Ferry only demonstrating this could lead to more issues for Will County
More 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 Find Out More 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 her employer.
A warrant my site was issued for Staley-Ferry’s arrest in April 2003, according to Amanda Jacinto, the spokesperson for the Maricopa Co. Attorney’s Office. By then, Staley-Ferry said she had already fled the state and had returned to the Midwest, eventually going back to Joliet, her hometown.
Ms. .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 go to this site do.
Also, the Sheriff said, sentencing on a forgery conviction would likely be restitution and probation.
Staley-Ferry said she was unaware of the charges until she was already out of Arizona, although she said she did not recall the exact time she left.
The criminal charges were dismissed 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 of the case.
The Herald-News called Staley-Ferry on Thursday, she said, while she did not remember some of the details, she rejects the charge.
“I am aware of that,†Staley-Ferry stated. “Obviously, that was many years ago.â€
Lauren said the criminal charges had been “misdirected†and that there were “nothing there†in regard to the charge.
