According to the FBI's Kansas City field office, Xaviar Babudar, known as "ChiefsAholic," has been arrested by the FBI in California and charged in Federal Court with bank theft and transporting stolen property across state lines.

Babudar gained notoriety for his distinctive Kansas City Chiefs-themed wolf costume, which he wore to both home and away games. He maintained an active presence on social media, sharing updates about his football-related activities and occasionally sharing his ambitious gambling bets.

Xavier Babudar, a.k.a. "ChiefsAholic", has been arrested by the FBI after jumping his bail in late March.

In December, concern arose from Babudar's sudden absence from the Chiefs-Texans game, leading to speculations of his disappearance. However, it was later discovered that he had been arrested in Oklahoma on suspicion of robbing a local bank. Prior to Super Bowl LVII, he was granted bail and subsequently released. However,he violated the terms of his bail by removing his GPS monitor in March.

Babudar has been accused of robbing multiple banks across multiple states, leading to suspicions that he may have been funding his extravagant football and gambling-focused lifestyle through these alleged criminal activities.

Although Babudar had previously claimed to work as a manager at a local warehouse in Kansas City, there is no substantial evidence supporting these claims.
