The hunt is over. “Chiefsaholic,” the Kansas City Chiefs superfan who allegedly robbed a bank in Oklahoma in December 200, has been arrested. FBI Kansas City provided an update on Monday.

Xaviar Babudar, better known by his nickname “Chiefsaholic” was arrest on Friday in California.

“Xaviar Babudar, ‘ChiefsAholic’ was arrested on Friday and has been charged in federal court, thanks to an FBI Kansas City investigation,” the tweet said. “Babudar has been charged with bank theft and transporting stolen property across state lines.”

Babudar famously donned a wolf costume at Chiefs games he attended. But after his arrest, we’re guessing he won’t be back at Arrowhead Stadium anytime soon.

The news comes as Babudar eluded authorities for several months. He probably wasn’t running around in his wolf costume while evading police, which likely made him harder to arrest.

“Chiefsaholic” landed on Most Wanted List

After several months on the run, Babudar landed on Kansas City FBI’s Most Wanted List and was listed at No. 5. Although the alleged bank robbery occurred in Oklahoma, his last known residence was in Overland Park, Kansas.

Babudar allegedly removed his ankle monitor and skipped court in Oklahoma, landing him on the Most Wanted List.

Babudar was wanted for allegedly robbing the Tulsa Teachers Credit Union in Bixby, Oklahoma in December 2022. He faces charges of robbery with a dangerous weapon, assault while masked or disguised and removing an electronic measuring device.

In February, “Chiefsaholic” was released on bond. He removed the GPS monitor in March.

Travis, Jason Kelce invited Chiefs superfan to join podcast

As “Chiefsaholic” evaded law enforcement, NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce attempted to get the criminal on their podcast. Jason sent out a tweet to extend the invitation.

“Chiefsaholic, I don’t know where you are, but my brother and I would love to have you on (New Heights) to tell your story,” Jason Kelce wrote. “We will go wherever, and disclose nothing for the sake of journalism.”

Although it would’ve been incredibly intriguing had he agreed, it was probably a smart move to not join the podcast.

While we don’t condone any sort of criminal activity, it is somewhat impressive that such a well-known superfan avoided arrest for as long as he did. But now the chase is over, bringing a close to one of the strangest stories we’ve ever seen relating to the NFL.

At least we think the story ends here.
