Chiefs superfan to serve state prison sentence following federal sentencing

Currently, Babudar is serving a 17.5-year sentence in federal prison for robbing seven banks from 2022 to 2023. His 32-year sentence, which he received on Monday afternoon in Oklahoma, is set to be served following his federal sentencing.

Babudar was on his way to a Kansas City game versus the Houston Texans in December 2022 and stopped in Bixby, Oklahoma, to commit the robbery he was later convicted of. Babudar fled the scene with roughly $150,000, but was caught by authorities shortly after.

In a plea deal with the Western District of Missouri federal court, he admitted to stealing more than $800,000 during his string of 11 robberies throughout the United States, along with laundering the money through casinos.

Prior to his arrest, Babudar donned his signature gray wolf suit, which featured a Chiefs hat and jersey. His online persona, ChiefsAholic, developed into one of the most popular fandoms in sports.
