"Lauren Staley-Ferry charged with Felony in 2003 and never showed up for her court hearing"
Will County Board member Lawren Staley-Ferry was charged in 2003 with felony forgery and never appeared in court for the case. Now as she has just filed as a candidate for Will County Clerk this information has become unearthed.
The charges were filed in 2003 in Maricopa County, Arizona. Before the finalization of the charges, Staley-Ferry moved to Wisconsin. According to Maricopa County court documents, the charges alleged that Staley-Ferry had taken a check from her place of employment filling it out in her name without her employer's knowledge. Independent Captial Group then filled these charges in Scottsdale, Arizona in July of 2012.
Then in April 2013, a warrant was issued for Staley-Ferry's arrest as was stated by Amanda Jacinto, a spokesperson for the Maricopa County. By that time Staley-Ferry was back in Wisconsin.
She was then sent a summons to appear in court which she failed to do. Staley-Ferry said she did not know about the charges until she was already out of Arizona. The charges were dropped in 2012. Then in 2013, the warrant was filed.
Staley-Ferry was represented by an attorney and never did appear in court for this issue. Now 14 years later this information was released right before the clerk's race.
