The phrase "felony by" is not a complete sentence, so it is not technically correct. However, it can be used as part of a larger sentence or phrase in written English. It is typically used to indicate the means or method by which a felony (serious crime) was committed. Example: He was charged with felony by breaking and entering into the bank. In this sentence, "felony by" is followed by the action of breaking and entering, specifying how the crime was committed.
