Kansas City Chiefs superfan Xaviar Babudar is better known as Chiefsaholic. He had been fixture around Arrowhead Stadium for years.
That changed back in December of 2022 when Babudar was arrested after fleeing the Tulsa Teachers Credit Union where he pointed a pistol at a bank teller.
Babudar was ultimately released on bond in February of 2023 before he evaded authorities for a few months. This represented one of several bank robberies committed by Babudar throughout the midwest.
Currently awaiting sentencing inside Leavenworth Federal Prison in Kansas, he’s in the news once again.

Kansas City Chiefs Fan Ordered To Pay Former Bank Teller $10.8 Million
Last Wednesday, Tulsa County District Judge Tracy L. Priddy ordered Babudar to pay Payton Garcia $3.6 million for “inflicting physical harm and emotional distress and another $7.2 million in punitive damages,” per ESPN.
“But the point is two things. He’ll never be able to profit from this. Say he writes a book in prison, say he does the Lifetime or Hallmark movie … anything he obtains from that will be paid to his creditors.
The second part overall is this: The judge sent a message that you cannot profit from crime. You cannot profit by greater notoriety, you cannot profit from clicks, getting more views, getting more likes.”
Garcia’s attorney, Frank Frasier, told ESPN.com
This represents one of the wildest sports stories of the past several years. Chiefsaholic legitimately used funds from these robberies to attend Chiefs games. In fact, he even took a selfie with Chiefs general manager Brett Veach during the Super Bowl back in February of 2020.
He faces up to 50 years in federal prison with sentencing set for this summer.
