The complaint and the warrant are on a single page. The complaint refers to the title of the action. The warrant refers to the complaint. The complaint is, by reference, incorporated into the warrant. \u201cWhen the title, the complaint and the warrant are considered together as parts of the same instrument and proceeding, they point out the defendant with due certainty as the person committing the offenses alleged.
