Documentary On Alleged Bank Robber ‘ChiefsAholic’ Gets An Unsettling New Trailer

It has been almost a year since Xavier Babudar, better known as Kansas City Chiefs superfan “ChiefsAholic,” allegedly robbed a bank on his way to a game in Houston against the Texans. Now he will be featured in his own documentary on ESPN.

Since he first hit the news for his alleged criminal activity, the man who gained a modicum of fame for wearing a wolf costume to Chiefs games has been on a wild ride.

After allegedly being released from jail after making bail, Xavier Babudar cut off his leg monitor, leaving his bail bondsman (who we spoke to after Babudar went on the run) in the lurch.

That landed him on the Greater Kansas City Crimestoppers Most Wanted List. There was also a $25,000 reward offered for information leading to his arrest.

“There could end up being a very good movie made about ChiefsAholic someday,” BroBible’s Garrett Carr wrote at the time. Little did he know…

Finally, in August, the ChiefsAholic was caught and indicted by a federal grand jury for robbing several financial institutions and laundering the money through multiple area casinos.

Babudar ended up being indicted on 19 criminal charges by a federal grand jury, including multiple counts of armed robbery, money laundering, and transporting stolen goods over state lines.

Authorities alleged Babudar stole more than $800,000.

His attorney, Matthew T. Merryman, said after the indictment, “It’s now the fourth quarter of the most important game of Xaviar’s life, and his legal team believes his innocence will ultimately be proven to the public and we are confident that once all of the facts are known that he will be redeemed in the eyes of his supporters, admirers and the Chiefs Kingdom.”

And now, he is getting his own documentary on ESPN titled Where Wolf: The Search for ChiefsAholic.

It will air on Monday, November 20 on ESPN+ and include interviews with Babudar (through his attorney) and Merryman, as well as other Chiefs superfans and people in law enforcement.

“We’ve been reporting this story for almost a year, and although ChiefsAholic had a huge online presence, extracting even the most basic information about him was a challenge,” said Elizabeth Merrill, one of the documentary’s reporters. “So, when his attorney agreed to send him a list of our questions in September, we felt as if it was somewhat of a breakthrough. Babudar wouldn’t answer questions about his case, but he did paint a picture of a man who got caught up in his own superfan persona.”
