Definition from
eHow:
A felony warrant is a legal document authorizing the apprehension of an individual suspected of a felony crime. Exactly what constitutes a felony can vary by jurisdiction. However, once felony warrants are issued they are not restricted by jurisdictions.
Example sentences:
On January 4, 2007, Verba was arrested on a felony warrant for writing bad checks ($50,000) at the Wynn Resort Hotel/Casino in Nevada (Wikipedia )
A felony warrant is generated when a judge has been presented with enough compelling evidence to name a person as a suspect in a criminal offense. (Arrest Warrant Guide)
"Temporary Felony Want" may be entered when a law enforcement agency has need to take prompt action to establish a "want" entry for the apprehension of a person who has committed or the officer has reasonable grounds to believe has committed, a felony and who may seek refuge by fleeing across jurisdictional boundaries and circumstances preclude the immediate procurement of a felony warrant.

Europa - Resuméer af EU lovgivning:
I rammeafgørelsen defineres den "europæiske arrestordre" som "en retsafgørelse truffet af en medlemsstat med det formål, at en anden medlemsstat anholder og overgiver en eftersøgt person" med henblik på:<br /><br />•strafforfølgning<br />•fuldbyrdelse af en frihedsstraf<br />•anden frihedsberøvende foranstaltning.<br />Arrestordren kan udstedes, når der foreligger:<br /><br />•en endelig dom på mindst fire måneders fængsel eller anden frihedsberøvende foranstaltning af samme varighed<br />•en lovovertrædelse, der straffes med fængsel eller anden frihedsberøvelse af mere end et års varighed.<br />Forudsat at de i den udstedende medlemsstat har en strafferamme på mindst tre år, omfatter de lovovertrædelser, der kan give anledning til overgivelse uden kontrol af dobbelt strafbarhed, bl.a. terrorhandlinger, menneskehandel, bestikkelse, deltagelse i en kriminel organisation, falskmøntneri, forsætligt manddrab, racisme og fremmedhad, voldtægt, handel med stjålne biler og bedrageri, herunder svig til skade for EU's finansielle interesser.

Nu gælder andre landes straffelovgivning reelt også i Danmark som følge af den europæiske arrestordre, som bl.a. omhandler udlevering for mistanke om terrorisme til andre EU-lande. Den trådte i kraft d. 1. januar 2004 (Denmarkonline.dk-blognyheder om politik)
Discussion
It formerly meant a crime more serious than a misdemeanour, and the term is still found in pre-1967 statutes that are still in force, and the law formerly relating to misdemeanours now applies to felonies. (Oxford Dictionary of Law)
