The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles has closed the license plate office on Peters Creek Parkway following the arrest of a former agency employee on fraud charges.
The DMV said today that the office would remain closed pending a financial audit, a criminal investigation and a contract review by the N.C. Attorney General's office. U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is also investigating activities at the agency.
Zoyla Bustos-Perez, who had worked at the agency for six years, was arrested today on felony charges of misapplication of government property, obtaining state vehicle titles by false pretense and accessing state government computers to defraud the state of North Carolina.
