The notorious Chiefs superfan, who goes by the name of “Chiefsaholic” but is legally known as Xavier Michael Babudar, has been apprehended and is once again in police custody. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Missouri announced on Monday that Babudar has been charged with bank theft, as it is believed that he is responsible for a series of robberies. After evading capture for four months, he was finally arrested in Lincoln, Calif. Babudar gained recognition for his passionate support of the Chiefs, often seen wearing a wolf mask at games and even taking a selfie with the team’s general manager after their Super Bowl win in 2020. However, his public persona crumbled when he was arrested in Tulsa County, Okla. for allegedly robbing a local credit union in December 2022. Although he was released on bond in February, Babudar removed his ankle monitor in March and went on the run once again.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office has revealed that Babudar’s criminal activities extend beyond the Tulsa incident. In addition to the charges related to the bank theft, he is also facing federal charges for transporting stolen property across state lines. Investigators have discovered evidence suggesting that Babudar committed robberies at several banks and credit unions throughout the Midwest. He allegedly laundered the stolen money at local casinos and in various bank accounts. Babudar’s cell phone records place him in the same locations where these unsolved robberies occurred, including Nebraska, Iowa, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Minnesota.
One specific incident mentioned in the complaint occurred at Great Western Bank in Clive, Iowa on March 2, 2022. Babudar entered the bank wearing a ski mask and handed a note to the teller, demanding money and implying that he had a firearm. He managed to steal $70,000 before fleeing. Law enforcement officers later discovered $1,460 in $20 bills, as well as a glove worn by Babudar, in the nearby woods.
During the course of the investigation, it was revealed that Babudar deposited the stolen money into his money market savings account over a six-week period. He then used the funds for multiple casino chip purchases and redemptions at the Argosy Casino in Riverside, Missouri. Babudar was scheduled to appear in court on Monday afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California in Sacramento.
