I am trying to understand your confusion. The felony burglary charge is an Idaho statute.BK LIVED in Washington State, taught at a Washington college.
He DROVE 8 miles miles to Moscow IDAHO.
He crossed the state line. From Washington INTO Idaho.
That's how they got the felony burglary charge.
Moo..
Felony does not equate to federal. I don't know how else to explain it. Every state has felony crimes. It is a classification, not a jurisdiction.
Burglary
