Greenville woman charged in 2023 overdose death of man found in vehicle

A Greenville woman has been arrested and charged in Craven County related to the overdose death of a Rocky Run Road man in Dec. 2023.

Amy Sue Gunter, 47, was arrested on Thursday, Jan. 9 after an investigation by the Craven County Sheriff’s Office.

In late December 2023 a man was found deceased in his vehicle at a Rocky Run Road residence. The death appeared to be the result of an overdose, and the North Carolina State Medical Examiner’s Office later confirmed the death was from a fentanyl overdose.

Officials say that an investigation revealed the victim had purchased narcotics from Gunter prior to his death.

Gunter has been charged with the following:

  • Felony Sell and Deliver Schedule II Controlled Substance
  • Possession with Intent to Manufacture, Sell, and Deliver Schedule II Controlled Substance

Gunter was being held at the Craven County Detention Center on a $100,000 secured bond as of Jan. 9.
