Xavier Babudar was accused of stealing over $800,000 across 11 robberies in 7 states.

The Chiefs fan known as the "Chiefsaholic" has pled guilty to several counts of bank robbery. Xavier Babudar had been charged with stealing $800,000 across 11 bank robberies across seven states. Furthermore, Badudar was accused of laundering the ill-gotten money through casinos. The 29-year-old faces a maximum of 50 years in prison, must pay over $500,000 in restitution, and surrender any property purchased with the stolen money.

The first chapter in this saga occurred in December 2022, when ChiefsAholic's absence from a Chiefs road game in Houston was noted. After a little internet sleuthing, armchair detectives discovered that ChiefsAholic, real name Xaviar Badudar, had been arrested on the way to the game. Why? Well, turns out he was a suspect in a bank robbery in Oklahoma. Subsequently, he was released on a $20,000 bail. Furthermore, he was given an ankle monitor and scheduled for arraignment in March 2023. He promptly skipped town, was added to the state's most wanted list, and eventually arrested.

Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift Face Backlash For Sydney Zoo Date

Meanwhile, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are continuing to face a wave of backlash from PETA and other animal rights activists for their trip to Sydney Zoo last month. However, the couple has been given a "pass" by noted PETA supporter Jennifer Coolidge. While Coolidge said she "understood" why PETA was mad, she didn't think that Kelce and Swift's date was malicious. Instead, she saw it as just a public couple going on what they considered a romantic date.

The couple were spotted enjoying the popular tourist attraction last week between shows on Swift's ongoing Eras Tour. Earlier in the week, Swifties had been gushing over Swift's reactions to the various exhibits during a solo trip to the zoo. Kelce, who was spotted in Las Vegas earlier in the week, reportedly flew from LA to Hawaii. He then stayed the night in the island state earlier in the week. He then reportedly transferred to a private jet that departed for Sydney the day before he was spotted at the zoo.
