Answer 2

Well it is going to depend on what State the crime occurred if in the USA. Federal government defines a felony as a crime which involves a potential punishment of a year or longer in prison. So it is a B&E that has some aggrevating circumstances such as taking a large amount of goods, happened at night, happened when the home or dwelling was occupied whether intentional or not. The Law Enforcement frown on it if the place was occupied and at night, this shows a boldness of the offender. Give a State for reference and I will try to help furthur. or you can go on the internet or your Local Library and look up your state Code of law and find the definition of FBE in your state.
