Xaviar Babudar, known as ChiefsAholic and a famous superfan of the Kansas City Chiefs, has been sentenced to 32 years in prison in an Oklahoma court. The sentence comes two and a half years after authorities arrested him in the state, while he was fleeing after a bank robbery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Babudar is already serving a 17-and-a-half-year federal sentence for robbing banks in seven states between 2022 and 2023. The Tulsa County District Attorney’s Office sought an even longer sentence, requesting a life sentence for the 30-year-old man. The current sentence will be served concurrently, meaning he will serve an additional 14 and a half years in an Oklahoma penitentiary after completing his federal sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n“I found it offensive that a serial thief could victimize so many hardworking Americans as this man did across the country and only receive 17 and a half years from the federal government.”<\/p>\n\nSteve Kunzweiler, Tulsa County District Attorney<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
In March, Babudar pleaded guilty in Oklahoma to armed robbery, assault with a mask or disguise, and removal of an electronic monitoring device, in connection with an armed robbery on December 16, 2022, at Tulsa Teachers Credit Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Babudar’s lawyers, Brett and Jay-Michael Swab, expressed relief at the sentencing decision. “They wanted him to die in prison,” said Jay-Michael Swab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n“Our position from the beginning is that we want to live in a world where everyone is treated equally, not based on notoriety or social media presence.”<\/p>\n\nJay-Michael Swab, Babudar’s lawyer<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Swab added that his client’s series of robberies was driven by a gambling addiction and a troubled childhood that left him homeless. He also mentioned that Babudar is remorseful and has found Jesus during his incarceration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In December 2022, on the way to a Chiefs game against the Houston Texans, Babudar stopped in Bixby, Oklahoma, and pointed a black CO2 pistol at a bank teller, before fleeing with $150,000. He was captured shortly after and, in February 2023, was released on bail. A month later, after receiving $100,000 in winnings from two bets in favor of the Chiefs, he removed his GPS device and went on the run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After robbing banks in Sparks, Nevada, and El Dorado Hills, California, the FBI captured Babudar in California in July 2023. He was charged with a series of unsolved robberies in the Midwest and in Tennessee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
