Rosenthal watched Winfrey's show Oct. 4 on fugitives accused of preying on children when she saw the profile of a man she knew as Mark Allen Davis.
The state issued a license to Davis after properly checking for authentic documents, said Marsha Lembke, director for the state Department of Transportation's driver license and traffic safety division.
Davis lived in the Fargo-Moorhead area since August 2004, according to Dave Harmon, who employed Davis as a maintenance man at six area rental properties.
Davis also had three brushes with police _ including a Sept. 17 crash when his bicycle collided with a car and he broke his leg _ during his stay.
North Dakota uses a checklist when out-of-state residents apply for a license. At least two pieces of authentic identification must be used to obtain a license, along with a successful background check, Lembke said.
"We have the right pieces in place" to meet the concerns, Lembke said. "We really think we have it down. We will have to be even more vigilant now."
