When any person is arrested in any judicial district upon a criminal charge within the jurisdiction of the Superior Court and any indictment or information is pending against him in the superior court for one or more other judicial districts, he may, with his consent and that of the state’s attorney for each such judicial district, be presented in the judicial district where the first warrant served upon him originated for all of the offenses to which he intends to plead guilty.
