The Democrat nominee Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a federal crime and has not even taken the time to return to the organization 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 insight that Ferry had stolen a check from a former employer and made it out to herself. When caught she fled the scene of the crime and she went on to continue moving. When these crimes was brought to light, Ferry said she was sorry, but not to the victim, and there was no effort to repay this debt, no intention to correct her wrong, rather she apologized and openly complained how difficult it was to be blasted with her own crimes.
This shows a total lack of responsibility 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 perpetrated felony theft while the current Clerk's office continues to be clean of corruption.
2. Ferry did not pay back her debt to the victim.
3. Lauren may not be bondable to be our clerk due to her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to support Ferry only demonstrating this might bring more problems for Will County
More news.
A Will County Board member running for county clerk was brought up on charges for 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 the charge was filed.
From the court documents, the charge alleged that, in July of 2002, Staley-Ferry stole a check from her place of employment at Independent Capital Group, then located in Scottsdale, Arizona, made it out to herself for unknown amounts and then deposited it into her personal checking account. article The documents reported she did so without the knowledge or permission of her employer.
An arrest warrant was issued for Staley-Ferry’s arrest in April 2003, according to Amanda Jacinto, a spokeswoman for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. By then, Staley-Ferry claimed she had already fled the state and had returned to the Midwest, eventually settling in Joliet, her hometown.
.Jacinto said address Staley-Ferry’s case predates the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office’s “records retention period,†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, the Sheriff said, sentencing on a forgery conviction might probably be probation and restitution.
Lauren said she was unaware of the charges until she was already out of Arizona, although she said she did not remember exactly visit this website when she left.
The charges were dismissed in 2012, as specified in the 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.
When The Herald-News called Staley-Ferry on Thursday, she said, while she cannot recall several of the details, she rejects the charge.
“I am alerted to that,†Staley-Ferry said. “Obviously, which was many years ago.â€
She said the criminal charges had been “misdirected†and that there were “nothing there†in regard to the charges.
