§ 124 Offense committed in two counties.

If a crime happens in a way that involves two different counties, either county can handle the case in court. This might happen when part of the crime takes place in one county and the rest happens in another. It can also apply when the actions or results that make up the crime cross county lines.

The point of this rule is to make sure a criminal case isn't stuck in limbo just because the crime didn't happen entirely in one place. Prosecutors have a choice to file the case in whichever of the two counties makes the most sense.

For someone facing charges, this means the case doesn't have to be filed in the county where they live or where most of the crime happened. It could end up in either county connected to the offense.
