Carter was later arrested at his parents’ home in Georgia. His employer, Rep Schneider, was informed of Carter’s crimes and arrest. The Congressman’s office didn’t fire him on the spot. Instead, Carter was given the option to resign. Carter resigned. Only after his arrest was Carter’s payroll theft discovered and incredibly that is the only crime Carter will spend time behind bars for. His initial arrest was for impersonating a federal agent and illegal possession of a handgun, but it was his theft of $80,000 (theft of public funds) that got him prison time. The other charges were dropped.
Carter was sentenced to nine months in federal prison. He’ll begin serving his time shortly.
