Scott Michael Dunn: Yeah. What are some common examples of federal criminal charges?
Andrew Russek: So, wire fraud, Medicare/Medicaid fraud, conspiracy, – that’s something that you don’t see in state court much, so you can be charged with, essentially, working with other people to commit a crime separate from actually being charged with whatever that crime is that you may have committed – drug conspiracies, interstate drug transfer, felon in possession.
The feds are real big on that right now, which is, even if you’re caught downtown St. Louis City with a gun, and you have a felony from 10, 15 years ago, the feds can pick that up as their equivalent of unlawful possession of a firearm.
