Will County Clerk Nominee is a Crook

Your Democratic candidate Lauren Staley-Ferry has committed a criminal offense and also has not even taken the time to actually pay back the organization she embezzled from.

As a voter and concerned citizen, I believe you are as uneasy 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 a former employer and forged his signature. When caught she fled the scene of the crime and she went on to continue moving. When these crimes was finally revealed, Ferry apologized, 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 mistakes.

This only goes to show a total lack of accountability for her behavior not to mention just how she may run the county clerks office, if she is able to!



4 thoughts to consider before you vote:

1. Ferry has committed felony forgery and the current Clerk's office continues to be without corruption.
2. Lauren did not pay back her stolen gains to the victim.
3. Lauren might not be bondable to be the clerk because of her felony embezzlementrecord.
4. Mike Madigan sent his team to stand behind Ferry only showing this 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 never appeared in court 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 but moved from there to Wisconsin my link 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, made it out to herself for an unknown amount 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 Co. Attorney’s Office. By then, Staley-Ferry claimed she had already left Arizona and was back in the Midwest, eventually going back to 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 not incarcerated. 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 look at this now be restitution and probation.

She said she did not know about the charges until she had already left Arizona, although she said she did not remember the exact time she departed.

The 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 notify them of the change in the status in the case.

The Herald-News reached out to Staley-Ferry on Thursday, Lauren said, while she cannot recall several of the details, she denies the charge.

“I am aware of that,” Staley-Ferry stated. “Obviously, which was many years ago.”

She said the charges look these up was “misdirected” and that there was “nothing there” in regard to the charge.
