A diehard Kansas City Chiefs fan was indicted on bank robbery and money laundering charges.
Xaviar "ChiefsAholic" Babudar faces 19 charges in total – 11 of money laundering, four of transporting stolen property across state lines, three of armed bank robbery and another of bank theft.
Babudar successfully robbed six banks of roughly $700,000, and attempted to steal from three others and he also laundered the proceeds at casinos and sportsbooks, according to the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Missouri.
Babudar is best known for wearing a KC Wolf costume and has grown quite the social media following in recent years. However, two days before the Chiefs were to play the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium in Houston in December, fans wondered where Babudar’s Chiefs-centric tweets were because he's normally active during the games.

Reddit sleuths were quick to make the connection that the superfan was arrested for allegedly robbing a bank in Bixby, Oklahoma.
Babudar eventually was placed on Kansas City's most-wanted list after he became a fugitive from justice for about four months after he allegedly skipped a court hearing on bank robbery charges in March. His monitoring device also was reportedly found in the woods.
