Two (2) or more offenses may be joined in the same complaint, but stated separately, when the alleged were equal or similar in nature, or would be derived from the same action or transaction, or from two (2) or more interrelated actions or events, or constituting parts of a common plan. Allegations pertaining to one offense may be incorporated to the others by reference.
The court, after a timely and well-based request to this effect, shall have discretion to order separate hearings.
