It means they were convicted of a felony which is generally defined as any crime where the minimum punishment exceeds one year in confinement. It could be anything from stealing something really valuable, to corporate fraud, all the way to murder, arson, or rape.

It is just someone who is convicted of a felony, could be that they stole something expensive like a car.
