TULSA, Okla.–A popular supporter of the Kansas City Chiefs well-known as “Chiefsaholic” and recognizable for never missing a home game and dressing as a wolf is now known for something else: allegedly robbing a credit union.
According to Tulsa Police, Xavier Michael Babudar, the man inside the wolf costume, has been arrested and charged with an armed robbery of a branch of Tulsa Teachers Credit Union in Bixby, Okla. Police said they arrived at the scene of the robbery almost immediately and formed a perimeter. In the process of interviewing eyewitnesses, they discovered the direction in which the robber had fled and eventually caught Babadar, who was allegedly found with a weapon and lots of cash. Babadar also allegedly stuck a “CO2 pistol” in a teller’s face during the robbery.
It was also soon discovered that Babudar, 28, was the semi-famous Chiefsaholic, who was often featured on TV broadcasts at the Arrowhead Stadium and at away games, including the 2020 Super Bowl. He has more than 50,000 followers on social media and fans noticed when he didn’t appear for several mid-December Chiefs games.
Claims of Success
Babudar has claimed on social media he was able to afford the tickets, travel and more because he was a successful sports bettor and because he successfully managed multiple warehouses.
But according to police reports, the story is different. In the report, Babudar reported: “Persons in household: Homeless. Cash on hand: $0. Bank account: No. Other possession of value: No. Current employment: No. Last employment: Warehouse, 2020.”
It is not known whether Babudar was involved in any other robberies or if police have additional charges planned. He does, however, have a lengthy police record.
