“"Consecutive and concurrent terms. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), the court shall determine whether terms of imprisonment shall be served concurrently or consecutively. (b) If, after being arrested for one (1) crime, a person commits another crime: (1) Before the date the person is discharged from probation, parole, or a term of imprisonment imposed for the first crime; or (2) While the person is released: (A) Upon the person's own recognizance; or (B) On bond; the terms of imprisonment for the crimes shall be served consecutively, regardless of the order in which the crimes are tried and sentences are imposed."”

State“[tlhe general authority [conferred by seetion (a) ] is limited to those occasions when a court is meting out two or more terms of imprisonment.
