Pardon power does not extend to states:

Ex Parte Grossman (1925)

"'for offences against the United States' were inserted by a Committee on Style, [..] to make clear that the pardon [..] operate upon offenses against the United States, as distinguished from offenses against the States"
Ex Parte Grossman, 267 U.S. 87 (1925)
