At the joinder hearing on October 23, 1997, the Commonwealth presented evidence that appellant had participated with Dearing in two armed robberies on or about August 7, 1997, including the one with which appellant was charged.

Only one robbery charge was certified to the grand jury and appellant's bail was continued.
