(a) When any person is liable to be prosecuted under § 5-26-401, he or she may be indicted, tried, and convicted in:
(1) The county where the violation of § 5-26-401 originally occurred;
(2) Any county where he or she might be apprehended; or
(3) The county where the injured spouse or child resided at the time of the filing of the indictment or information.
