Richard Huntzberry, 31, of St. Leonard (2018 Mugshot)
On May 4, 2026, Richard Meredith Huntzberry, 39, of Huntingtown, entered a guilty plea to driving while impaired by alcohol after having been convicted of three or more such offenses in the past.
Calvert County Circuit Court Judge Mark S. Chandlee sentenced Huntzberry to 10 years incarceration with all but 5 years suspended, followed by 5 years of supervised probation.
As a condition of probation, Huntzberry will be required to maintain an ignition interlock device on all of his vehicles.
On December 31, 2025, Calvert County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the area of 3885 Sixes Road, Prince Frederick, for the report of an accident.
Police investigation revealed that a Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by Huntzberry had crossed the center line and collided with another vehicle occupied by a woman and her 18-month-old child. Huntzberry had a strong odor of alcohol on his breath, slurred speech, and water eyes. He failed all field sobriety tests.
Although he denied being the driver, a witness reported seeing Huntzberry exit the driver’s side of his vehicle. Fortunately, the victim and her child were not seriously injured.
Calvert County State’s Attorney Robert Harvey stated: “The court is to be commended for imposing the maximum sentence authorized by law and holding Mr. Huntzberry accountable for his actions. Drivers must know that there are severe consequences for drunk driving.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant State’s Attorney April N. Brown
