Fanatic supporter of the Chiefs, ChiefsAholic, receives a 32-year sentence in state penitentiary for assorted offenses.
From Chiefs Fan to Convicted Felon: The notorious Kansas City Chiefs supporter, Xaviar Babudar, better known as ChiefsAholic, received a significant sentence this week. A Tulsa County judge pronounced him guilty and sentenced him to 32 years in state prison, adding to the 17.5 years he had already served at federal prison.
Jennifer Maupin and Erin Christy of KSHB Kansas City reported the incident. According to the records, Babudar admitted to robbing 11 banks across eight states, and his crimes earned him a conviction on one count of robbery with a firearm, one count of assault while masked or disguised, and one count of removing an electronic monitoring device.
Reports suggest Babudar used a replica gun during his attempts, causing distress among his victims. Tulsa County District Attorney, Steve Kunzweiler, has repeatedly criticized the convicted felon for his violent crimes across the U.S. Kunzweiler insists that the "ChiefsAholic" caught a break with his sentencing and believes he is likely to commit further crimes.
"The manner in which Babudar trespassed against the employees of the Tulsa Teacher Credit Union was despicable," said Kunzweiler. "He is a serial robber who terrified these victims and numerous others across the nation. I believe he got lucky with his 32-year prison sentence. I can't see him overcoming the age of 63 without committing more offenses. You had people who had a gun held to their heads while pretending it was just a BB gun – it's merely an excuse in my opinion."
