offenses charged, whether felonies or misdemeanors or both, are of the same or

similar character, are based on the same act or transaction, or are based on two

or more acts or transactions connected together or constituting parts of a

common scheme or plan.

(b) Joinder of defendants. — Two or more defendants may be charged in the

same citation, indictment or information if they are alleged to have participated in the same act or transaction, or in the same series of acts or
