When Crimes May Be Charged as a Federal Offense:

Many crimes are illegal under both federal and state law, however, it’s not likely you obtain both federal and state charges for the same crime. Usually, you are charged for an alleged crime either under state law or federal law. There are certain factors that can lead to the charges being filed under federal law, including:

Violation of a Federal Statute
Committing the Crime on Federal Property (for example, federal building, military base, or national park)
Committing Crimes while Crossing State Lines
Being Investigated by Federal Agency (for example, FBI, IRS, or DEA)
