Carlisle was NEVER a part of the Volturi...guard or otherwise. Carlisle would have never killed for the Volturi...so we know that's quite impossible. Carlisle came across the Volturi on accident. He was searching for others of his kind. He did stay a sustained period of time. Carlisle tried to convince the Volturi that there was another way to exist without killing innocent humans. However the Volturi though him quite strange and they tried to convince Carlisle that drinking humans was the only way to survive. Carlisle finally gave up and moved to America. Until Edward showed up in NEW MOON, Aro had no idea of what happened to Carlisle. Aro had assumed that after drinking animal blood for so long...that Carlisle went insane.
