Short answer. Generally yes. Rule 117, Section 3 lists as a ground for a motion to quash "that more than one offense is charged," which fits an information charging you with several crimes at once. The one exception is when a single punishment for various offenses is prescribed by law, in which case this ground does not apply.

The ground that matches your situation

Rule 117, Section 3 lists exactly this problem as a ground for quashing: "That more than one offense is charged except when a single punishment for various offenses is prescribed by law." An information that crams several distinct crimes into one charging document is, on its face, the kind of defect this ground is built to catch, regardless of how the prosecution chose to word or arrange the charges.

The exception built into the ground

The ground is not absolute; it carves out its own exception: "except when a single punishment for various offenses is prescribed by law." If some other law specifically prescribes one single punishment covering multiple offenses charged together, this ground does not apply to that charge. This article does not itself identify which laws do that — it simply preserves the exception, leaving it to whatever specific law might apply to determine whether your particular set of charges falls inside it.

The rest of the list, briefly

The section names eight other grounds addressing different defects — that the facts charged do not constitute an offense, that the trying court lacks jurisdiction over the offense or over the accused personally, that the filing officer lacked authority, that the charge does not conform substantially to the prescribed form, that the criminal action or liability has already been extinguished, that the charge's own averments show a legal excuse or justification, and that the accused was already convicted, acquitted, or the case already dismissed or terminated without consent.

What to check in your own information

Whether this ground genuinely applies depends on what "more than one offense" actually means for your charges — several truly separate crimes crammed into a single document is different from one continuous offense described with several particulars, or from multiple counts of what is legally the same offense. The article itself does not walk through that distinction; it only states the ground and its one exception, leaving the classification of your specific charges to be worked out against the actual wording of your information.
