After making bail by betting against Eagles in Super Bowl, bank robbery suspect is on the lam
The Eagles losing the Super Bowl this February may be the reason a bank robber is on the loose.
Xaviar Babudar, a wolf-mask-wearing Kansas City Chiefs superfan known on social media as ‘Chiefsaholic,’ is on the run with a $1 million bond warrant out for his arrest after failing to show up to his Monday court date, according to a report from local TV station KJRH.
Badubar is being accused of robbing a TTCU bank at gunpoint in Bixby, Oklahoma, on Dec. 16. The New York Post speculates that Babudar was able to make bail because of the money he earned betting on the Super Bowl, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes winning the MVP award and the Chiefs defeating the Eagles to win the NFL title:
Based on betting slips that he posted to Twitter, on a since-deleted account, he stood to win about $100,000 when those outcomes occurred.
He made bail shortly after the Super Bowl and posted a celebratory video of himself superimposed over the rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine in the music video for the song “GOOBA.”
The Tulsa County District Attorney’s Office plans to add a felony charge for the ankle monitor, which was found in a field near Woodland Hills Mall in Tulsa, per KJRH. Tracy Tiernan, Babudar’s attorney, told ESPN she hasn’t talked to her client in over a week.
“I have reached out to him and am waiting to hear back from him,” Tiernan said. “I don’t know the circumstances of why [the ankle monitor] was removed and how it was removed.”
The Chiefs defeated the Eagles, 38-35, in Super Bowl 57 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, in February.
