Any person who may commit any [crimes] CRIME, felony or
misdemeanor, on or at the boundary or divisional line between any
of the counties in this State, or so near thereto or where the
exact location of such boundary is so uncertain as to render it
doubtful in which county the offense was committed, then the
county which first assumes jurisdiction by issuing process for
the arrest and prosecution of the offender shall have
jurisdiction to charge, present, indict, try, convict and
sentence; and in such case it shall be only necessary for the
State to establish the venue alleged in the information, warrant
or indictment, by proving that the offense was at or on the
boundary of the county wherein the accused is being tried, or was
so near thereto or the location of the boundary is so uncertain
as to render it doubtful in which county the crime was committed.
