Where proceedings are timely instituted against a person reasonably believed to have committed the offense charged and it subsequently appears that a person other than the person charged is the offender, proceedings may be instituted against the other person within 30 or 15 days, whichever is applicable, after the identity of the person is discovered and not thereafter.
