Will County Clerk Nominee is a Criminal

Your Democrat candidate Lauren Staley Ferry committed a federal crime and also hasn't even taken the time to actually pay back the organization she stole money 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 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, although not to the injured person, and there was no effort to repay this debt, no attempt to fix her wrongdoing, rather she apologized and openly lamented how difficult it was to be confronted with her own crimes.

This only goes to show a total lack of accountability for her actions aside from the way she may run the Will County clerks office, if she even can!



4 things to think about before voting:

1. Lauren has committed felony forgery while the current County Clerk's office continues to be clean of such corruption.
2. Lauren did not pay back her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Lauren may not even be bondable to be the clerk due to her felony criminalrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to back up Ferry only showing this her response might lead to more issues 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 the courtroom for the case.

Lauren Staley-Ferry, D-Joliet, was charged with the felony forgery in Maricopa County, Arizona. Staley-Ferry had lived and worked in Maricopa County directory but moved from there to Wisconsin before the charge was filed.

According to court documents, the charge alleged that, in July of 2002, Staley-Ferry removed 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. The document said she did this 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, the spokesperson for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. By then, Staley-Ferry said she had already left Arizona and had returned to the Midwest, eventually settling in her hometown, Joliet.

.Jacinto said Staley-Ferry’s case predates the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office’s “records retention period,” but that it appears Staley-Ferry was not 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 for a forgery conviction might probably be probation and restitution.

Lauren said she was unaware of the charges until she had already left Arizona, although she said she could not recall the exact time she departed.

The criminal charges were dropped in 2012, as specified in the court papers. Jacinto said, in March of 2012, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office called Independent Capital Group to let them know the change in the status of the case.

The Herald-News called Staley-Ferry on Thursday, Lauren said, while she did not why not try these out remember several of the details, she rejects the charge.

“I am conscious of that,” Staley-Ferry said. “Obviously, that was many years ago.”

Lauren stated the particular charges had been “misdirected” and that there was “nothing there” in regard to the charge.
