What's a felony warrant?
A felony warrant is a legal document issued by a judge, authorising police to arrest someone suspected of committing a serious crime, known as a felony. The 19-year-old in this story faces eight felony warrants, meaning authorities believe there's enough evidence to charge him with multiple grave offences.
