(Radio Iowa) – A man who gained online fame for his support of the Kansas City Chiefs has been sentenced to 17 years in prison for a string of robberies and attempted robberies — including three in central Iowa. Teresa Moore, the U-S Attorney for the western district of Missouri, issued a video statement after today’s (Friday) sentencing.

Xaviar Babudar stole 70-thousand from a bank in Clive in 2022. Investigators were able to recover his D-N-A from a black glove he left behind. Babudar admits he later stole another 25-thousand dollars from the same location, although the bank’s name had changed. Court records also show he stole over 300-thousand dollars from a West Des Moines credit union.

Babudar, who is 30 years old, went to Chiefs games dressed as a wolf — mimicking the Chief’s mascot. Prosecutors say he laundered the money stole by making large deposits in his bank accounts and buying casino chips from casinos in Missouri, Kansas and Illinois.
