After months on the run, ‘Chiefsaholic’ arrested in California. He faces new charges

A popular Kansas City Chiefs fan, known for dressing as a wolf at games, has been arrested and charged more than six months after he was initially arrested for robbing a bank in Oklahoma, and after four months on the run.

Xaviar Michael Babudar, known as “ChiefsAholic” online, was arrested Friday in California and faces federal charges in addition to his earlier charges in Oklahoma.

The 29-year-old from Overland Park is now accused of laundering the proceeds from a string of robberies at banks and credit unions across the Midwest at casinos and bank accounts, according to an affidavit.

Babudar was arrested Friday in Lincoln, California, federal authorities said.

His initial court appearance is set for Monday afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California in Sacramento.

A federal grand jury will ultimately decide if Babudar should be indicted on the current federal charges of one count of bank theft and one count of transporting stolen property across state lines

“Babudar enjoyed a robust social media presence as Kansas City Chiefs superfan Twitter user @ChiefsAholic,” Monday’s federal news release stated.

After Babudar’s initial arrest, authorities would not confirm that he was the person behind the social media page for Chiefsaholic. Nevertheless, his arrest immediately went viral on social media as fans speculated about the incident.

Babudar’s name initially hit headlines in December, after he was arrested in Tulsa County, Oklahoma, for allegedly robbing a credit union.

He was charged with armed robbery and assault while masked or disguised.
