The Weldon Police Department will meet with the District Attorney’s office tomorrow to discuss additional charges in a fatal crash Saturday.

Chief Mark Macon expects more charges will be filed against Jonathan James Brown, 21, of Weldon.

Brown was the driver of a car which struck a utility pole Saturday night. His brother, Jeremy Lemuel Harvey, 19, of Halifax, was killed.

Brown already faces charges of DWI, careless and reckless driving, driving while license revoked and driving left of center.

He was released from custody on a written promise to appear in court due to a medical condition he received in the crash.

Harvey was ejected from the vehicle following the crash, which occurred around 10:27 p.m. at the intersection of Elm and Sixth streets in town.

When officers arrived Brown was holding his brother in his arms and crying, apologizing for what he allegedly did.

The crash occurred when Brown, along with Harvey and Willie Ray Pittman Jr. of Weldon, were coming back from the county.

Brown was allegedly driving the vehicle approximately 67 mph in a 25 mph zone when the vehicle crossed the center line, struck a utility pole with a transformer on it, splitting the pole, and then knocking down a stop sign. The crash knocked power out for a period of time.

The vehicle rolled over once, ejecting Harvey and then landed upright. Witnesses told police the engine compartment began smoking and it became engulfed in flames as officers arrived.

Brown and Pittman got out of the car safely but Pittman sustained a broken arm, collar bone and had bones broken in his chest.
