State Police say they were able to arrest an Erie County man before he robbed a bank.

Troopers arrested 28-year-old Shawn Krawczyk for attempted robbery after they received a tip stating he was planning a robbery.

The tipster said that Krawczyk wanted to rob either Evans National Bank or a 7-Eleven -- both in the Town of Boston. Police say he was carrying a note that demanded money when he was arrested.     

During an interview, investigators say Krawczyk admitted he was going to rob one of the businesses but was undecided.
