Chiefs superfan Xaviar Babudar, known as ‘ChiefsAholic,’ sentenced to 32 years in prison
Xaviar Babudar, famously known as the Kansas City Chiefs superfan “ChiefsAholic,” was sentenced to 32 years in prison on Monday in Oklahoma. The sentencing follows his guilty plea to multiple serious charges, including robbery with a firearm, assault while masked or disguised, and tampering with an electronic monitoring device.
The saga began on December 12, 2022, when Babudar—traveling to Houston for a Chiefs vs. Texans game—robbed the Tulsa Teachers Credit Union in Bixby, Oklahoma. Wearing his signature Chiefs-themed wolf mask, Babudar brandished a CO2 pistol at a bank teller and fled with $150,000 in cash.
After his arrest, he was released on bond in February 2023. But just a month later, Babudar removed his court-mandated GPS tracking device and disappeared. He had recently cashed out six-figure sports bets placed on the Chiefs, and during his time on the run, he continued a cross-country crime spree. The FBI linked Babudar to two additional bank robberies in Nevada and California, and later connected him to previously unsolved cases in Tennessee and throughout the Midwest.
Once a well-known fixture at Chiefs games—cheering from the stands in full wolf gear—Babudar’s fall from fandom to felon marks one of the most shocking off-the-field stories in recent NFL memory.
