§ 5-26-410. Jurisdiction.

When any person shall be liable to be prosecuted under § 5-26-401, he may be indicted, tried, and convicted in the county where the violation of § 5-26-401 originally occurred, or in any county where he might be apprehended or in the county where the injured spouse or child resided at the time of the filing of the indictment or information, since not only the original offense but each successive day the offense continues is declared to be a violation of § 5-26-401, not only in the county where the offense originally occurred but in any county where the offender or the injured spouse or child resides while the course of conduct condemned in § 5-26-401 continues.
