The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects people from being prosecuted twice for the same offense. This is called the Double Jeopardy Clause.
So, no, the state should not be able to prosecute for a substantially similar crime.
However, if the state crime is not substantially similar to the federal crime, then its not considered double jeopardy. For example, person x breaks into a house and kills person y. The feds arrest person x for burglary. The state arrests the person for murder. These are considered two distinct crimes even though the person committed both of them essentially at the same time.

Where are you taken when you are arrested?
It depends on what officer arrests you and where you allegedly broke the law. If you're arrested in a city by a city policeman, you'll probably go to the city's jail. If you're out in the country and you're arrested by a sheriff, you may well end up in the county jail. I believe federal law enforcement has arrangements with counties and cities to house their newly arrested suspects. I just read an article where a person who was arrested for breaking a federal law was remanded to the Marshall's custody - in a county jail.
