Twitter detectives are undefeated.
Anonymity is a core skill for anyone planning a bank robbery, but a Kansas City Chiefs superfan over the weekend forgot this most basic rule. “@ChiefsAHolic,” as he’s known by his Twitter moniker, is a staple at Arrowhead Stadium and at Chiefs road games, always wearing his signature KC Wolf costume. This weekend he used the same costume to rob a bank.
A lot going on the world but everyone take a moment to look up the Chiefsaholic fan who funded his trips to games by robbing banks in the same mask he wore to games. I’ve never been prouder to root for the Chiefs. pic.twitter.com/0eqIBEY1kn

The entire incident unfolded on Monday among Chiefs fans on Twitter. After ChiefsAHolic was absent during Kansas City’s overtime win against Houston on Sunday, fans were concerned something had happened to the superfan. Normally an avid tweeter, he hadn’t said anything since Dec. 16, when he retweeted a motivational Steve Harvey quote.
Fans set about trying to find out what happened to ChiefsAHolic, making sure he was okay during his absence. Turns out it was for very good reason. The Twitter account was silent over the weekend because the man under the wolf mask, Xaviar Babudar WAS ARRESTED FOR ARMED ROBBERY OF A BANK ON FRIDAY MORNING!
CONTEXT: Chiefs superfan @ChiefsAholic went AFK for a few days and didn’t tweet at all during the game yesterday which raised concern. After doing some digging, twitter detectives found out that he robbed a bank on his way down to the game this weekend.

An inmate information search for the Tulsa County Jails confirms the above arrest record, with local news in Bixby, Oklahoma reporting on the armed robbery, which occurred on Friday. This means that everything is lining up with fan theories that ChiefsAHolic was traveling from Kansas City to Houston for the game, and decided to rob a bank along the way.
Perhaps this was a spur of the moment decision to get some extra spending money for the weekend, but it’s still not advisable to wear a mask to rob a bank that literally thousands of people recognize — and that you routinely post photos of on Twitter for your 36 thousand followers to see.
As of Tuesday morning the account is still silent, presumably either because of the arrest — or now the shame that an entire fanbase is cracking jokes about him robbing a bank in the KC Wolf mask. Either way, it will be interesting to see what happens to the Chiefs and their bank-robbing superfan. Are their fates inexorably linked? Only time will tell.
