“Felony local” means that you enter a guilty plea to (or are convicted of) a felony, and that you are placed on probation on the condition that you serve anywhere from zero to 365 days in the county jail. There will be other conditions of probation, such as payments of fines, and consent to the search of your person, vehicle, and home. “Felony local” means that you are not sentenced to state prison. Many cases are resolved on “felony local” disposition ensuring that you do not go to prison unless you violate the terms of your probation.
