• Samantha R. Kunze, 25, of 6733 Wilmont Terrace, Huntsville, was charged with OVI related to an incident early Wednesday morning when deputies stopped to check on her disabled vehicle in the area of County Road 130 near County Road 139.
Deputies reported observed her vehicle in a ditch with its hazard lights on about 2:55 a.m., and spoke with Kunze, who reported that she had run out of gas. Another motorist soon arrived on the scene with gasoline for her vehicle, and once her vehicle was fueled up, she started driving on C.R. 130.
