Earlier this year, a Kansas City Chiefs superfan was indicted by a federal grand jury on 19 charges, including bank robbery and money laundering.
Xaviar Babudar, better known as ChiefsAholic on social media, was charged with Three counts of armed bank robbery, one count of bank theft, 11 counts of money laundering, and Four counts of transporting stolen property across state lines.
Babudar, often seen at NFL games wearing a gray wolf suit, allegedly laundered money through casinos and used the profits to go to Chiefs home and away games.
Now, ESPN is further getting in on the story.
ESPN PR has released a trailer for “Where Wolf: The Search for ChiefsAholic.”
The documentary will be available on ESPN+ beginning on November 20th.

Via ESPN’s official press release:
The 40-minute “Where Wolf” takes viewers on a gripping journey through the life of [Xavier] Babudar, a passionate football enthusiast whose alleged actions took a criminal turn, leaving the nation in shock. In his first public comments since his second arrest, Babudar – through his lawyer – responds from jail to extensive questions from ESPN’s Elizabeth Merrill, one of the feature’s reporters.
“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 Merrill. “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.”
Xaviar Babudar, the man behind the popular social media handle, was arrested this summer for an alleged robbery in Iowa last year. FBI investigators used bank records, casino transaction records, and other “sensitive” financial information before discovering his cell phone was placed in cities where previously unsolved robberies took place.
He was allegedly responsible for six robberies and two attempted robberies during a nine-month stretch. He is also accused of purchasing and redeeming more than $1 million in chips from various casinos in Missouri, Kansas, and Illinois.
