A Kansas City Chiefs superfan, who had been on the run for four months after being charged in a December bank robbery, has been arrested in California and accused in a criminal complaint of perpetrating a string of robberies in the Midwest, according to court documents unsealed Monday.
Federal authorities arrested Xaviar Babudar, 28, near Sacramento on Friday. Babudar has been charged with bank theft and transporting stolen property across state lines for a previously unsolved March 2022 robbery in Iowa.
The FBI has also linked him to six other unsolved robberies and attempted robberies of banks or credit unions from April 2022 through December in Iowa, Minnesota, Tennessee and Nebraska.
In total, authorities say Babudar stole more than $800,000. Babudar will appear in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California in Sacramento on Monday afternoon.
