Some background

Throughout the Chiefs’ run to the Tremendous Bowl, Babudar, who has appeared at Kansas Metropolis video games in a wolf’s costume, allegedly walked right into a Tulsa Academics Credit score Union in Bixby, Okla., and pointed a pistol at financial institution teller Payton Garcia’s chest and threatened to “put a bullet within the worker’s head,” in accordance with a police report.
