A federal grand jury indicted infamous Kansas City Chiefs superfan Xaviar Babudar Wednesday in Kansas City, according to the U.S. attorney's office for the Western District of Missouri.
Babudar, known as Chiefsaholic on social media, wore a gray wolf suit to games and often was shown on broadcasts. In a criminal complaint unsealed in July, Babudar was linked to six robberies and two attempted robberies during a nine-month stretch from March 2, 2022, in Clive, Iowa, to Dec. 16, 2022, in Bixby, Oklahoma, where he was first arrested. In total, authorities allege Babudar stole more than $800,000.
According to the Department of Justice release, Babudar fled while out on bond in Oklahoma after receiving $100,000 in winnings from an Illinois sportsbook from bets on Chiefs quarterbackto win NFL MVP and Kansas City to win the Super Bowl. The indictment alleges that days after receiving the $100,000, Babudar cut his ankle monitor and fled the state. He was on the run for over three months before being captured by the FBI near Sacramento on July 7.
"The government's announcement today of its 19-count indictment provides an unfair and unjust portrayal of Xaviar," Babudar's defense attorney, Matthew T. Merryman, said in a statement."The truth is that since 2018 Xaviar Babudar, aka"ChiefsAholic" has entertained, inspired, unified and motivated Kansas Citians, the Chiefs Kingdom and hundreds of millions of football fans around the globe.
