Chiefs superfan Xavier Babudar has been charged with alleged bank robbery

Xavier Babudar, Kansas Chiefs Super Fan accused of robbing an Oklahoma bankallegedly removed his ankle monitor and failed to appear in court, leading to a $1 million bond, according to multiple times reports.

BroBible interviewed Babudar’s associate, Michael Lloyd, who told the website that he has been “hunting” for Babudar since the alleged bandit “cut off his leg monitor on Saturday, March 25 at approximately 8:30 p.m.”

Who would have thought that the weirdest thing about the Chiefs fan formerly known as “ChiefsaHolic” wasn’t that he regularly wore a full-body wolf costume to Chiefs games? Instead, the hunt for a fugitive Kansas City Chiefs superfan called “The Caring Bondsman” has become one of the NFL’s strangest offseason stories.

According to Lloyd, Babadu was believed to be with his mother and brother in Tulsa. “However, we later learned that they left Tulsa about two hours before Babudar cut off his leg monitor,” he told BroBible.

Citing a court affidavit, ESPN reported that the ankle monitor was found in nearby woods.

Some background

During the Chiefs’ run to the Super Bowl, Babudar, who appeared at Kansas City games in a wolf costume, allegedly walked into a teachers credit union in Tulsa in Bixby, Okla. and pointed a gun at the bank teller Payton Garcia’s chest and threatened to “put a bullet in the employee’s head” according to a police report.

Babudar is said to have gone from here to peel off $10,000 an autograph Painting by Patrick Mahomes at a $1,250-per-person charity event in December he claimed to be homeless upon arrest. Babudar pleaded not guilty and released on bail in February.

After allegedly cutting off his leg monitor on Saturday night, Babudar failed to appear at a court hearing on Monday morning. he has been on the run ever since. The DA quickly filed it for a surcharge removing an electronic surveillance device, but if caught, Babudar is arrested and detained $1 million bond.

“I have reached out to him and am awaiting a response,” Babudar’s attorney, Tracy Tiernan, told ESPN. “I do not know why [the ankle monitor] removed and how it was removed.”

Lloyd also shared that Babudar “may have pressured” him to rob the bank and begged him to surrender peacefully. You’d be wise to keep an eye out for him at next month’s NFL Draft in Kansas City.

The wolf preying on the lamb is a cliché, but bad decisions by an NFL superfan add up to bad decisions, which the NFL’s screenwriters presented us with.

Despite his penchant for high-stakes gambling, Babudar’s rationale for armed robbery was never substantiated. Babudar was reportedly a prolific gambler who was open about his winning and losing bets, according to ESPN. investigative piece. For example, employees at the Hollywood Casino in Kansas City, Kansas, told ESPN’s Elizabeth Merrill and David Purdum that Babudar had placed and won $80,000 in bets two months before his arrest, but sports betting manager Tanner Rome declined to comment on a specific person. bets.

If Babudar was motivated by money, all of this could have been avoided if he had just shown some faith in the home team and made a big bet in the futures betting market that the Chiefs would win the Super Bowl back in August.
