Deputies later found Harrison a few miles away in the town of Adrian and arrested him. He is charged with an accident resulting in death and driving under the influence resulting in death. Both are felony charges.

Duncan, who was a freshman, was involved in several school activities, even though he had been on campus for only about three weeks, said college spokesman Bob Skinner.

The political science major was a member of the school's honors program, jazz ensemble, concert chorale and cycling club, Skinner said.

The college's counseling staff is working to console students who knew Duncan, Skinner said.

"A lot of students knew this young man," he said.

Wesleyan College will be holding a memorial service in Wesley Chapel on its campus at 11 a.m. Tuesday.

Harrison was awaiting arraignment Thursday morning at the Tygart Valley Regional Jail.
