She was supposed to be making driver's licenses, but the DMV says one of their own workers has been busted for selling fake ID cards under the table. Tonight the woman is behind bars and some are wondering how she slipped through the cracks to get hired in the first place. News 3's Alex Savidge is live at the DMV office on west Flamingo to tell us what sort of background check DMV workers have to go through.

The DMV says it's extensive; they check for past convictions and screen people during interviews. But they admit they can't catch everyone who's set on breaking the law. This is one example of that -- this week DMV investigators arrested a worker at an office who they say was making fake ID's and selling them for big bucks.

DMV investigators say Charita Carter was one of those workers accused of making and selling phony Nevada ID cards. The DMV says she sold the fake cards for 500 dollars a pop, but she got busted when she sold one to an undercover police informant this week. Sources say that informant was a prostitute who bought a fake ID card from Carter last year.

"The woman agreed to become a confidential informant and our compliance enforcement division set her up in a sting to purchase another ID from Carter.... which she did and Carter was arrested shortly after that."

The DMV says Carter has worked at the Flamingo office for the last 4 years. Investigators don't know yet how many fake ID cards she made during that time -- but they say she wasn't stealing people's identities -- the names and social security numbers she used were fake.

Carter is facing two felony charges right now and up to 10 years in prison. She's on un-paid leave from the DMV but will likely be let go soon. She's due in court later this month. The DMV says they are still investigating this case and more charges could be filed against Carter.
