Chiefs superfan flees after allegedly missing court hearing on bank robbery charges: officials

Share

Xavier Babudar, a Kansas City Chiefs superfan known as “ChiefsAholic,” was accused of removing his ankle monitor before a court appearance Monday in Oklahoma and is believed to be on the run.

Babudar was scheduled to appear in court in Bixby to arraign on charges stemming from a bank robbery in December, according to FOX4 KC. A spokesperson for the Tulsa County District Attorney’s office told the station that Babudar has now been charged with removing an ankle monitoring device.

If authorities find Babudar, he will be held on $1 million bail.

“You need to call me because I can help you,” Babudar’s bail bondsman Michael Lloyd told ESPN. “Everyone and his mother are looking for him.”

Two days before the Chiefs played the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium in Houston, fans were wondering where Babudar’s Chiefs-centric tweets were. He would shoot his team’s rivals, as many NFL fans do in general. He didn’t seem to tweet through the Kansas City game against the Texans, though, even as the Chiefs had to dodge in overtime thanks to Jerick McKinnon.

Reddit detectives were quick to make the connection that the superfan was arrested for allegedly robbing a bank in Bixby, Oklahoma.

The robbery occurred at the Tulsa Teachers Credit Union, according to FOX 23. Responding officers established a perimeter in the area and caught the suspect attempting to escape with a gun and a large amount of cash, according to KJRH-TV.

Babudar was later identified as the suspect and big Chiefs fan behind the KC Wolf costume. He was arrested for armed robbery, among other charges, according to Tulsa County jail records. He allegedly wore a mask in the robbery, but it was not clear if it was a wolf mask.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges and was released on bail in February.

According to ESPN, Babudar was not at the Tulsa hotel where he was staying and his monitoring device was found in nearby woods.
