BALDWINSVILLE — The New York State Police announce the arrest of 31-year-old Travis J. Heppard of Baldwinsville in connection with the Feb. 23 robbery at the Fulton Savings Bank on State Fair Boulevard in Baldwinsville.

The Fulton Savings Bank reported that the male suspect entered the bank, handed the teller a note, and threatened the use of a gun. He left the bank with an undisclosed amount of money.

State Police were assisted in this investigation by the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office.
