Best Answer

Yes, if it's also a federal crime or offense. Some laws are state specific and having no Federal Laws governing the act. However, some things are illegal both at a state level and federal level. Keep in mind though, if there was not enough to prosecute at a state level, it's unlikely there's enough evidence to prosecute at a federal level too.

Yes, it is possible for another state to file charges for a crime that took place in a different state if it has jurisdiction and the crime falls within its legal boundaries.
