east of Kansas City. So we'll watch things here for the next several hours. >> Yes, I heard about it and I thought it was pretty, you know, kind of like surprising. I definitely one of those stories that you would see on Netflix down road. >> Yes, pretty wild. Chiefsaholic. The 29 year-old Wolf wearing accused bank robbing superfan. Now back in Kansas City. And today, his first local court date on federal charges for bank theft and despite being accused of laundering around a million dollars in casino chips. FOX Four's Jacob Kittle stabbed reports. The defendant whose real name is Xavier Baghdad are requested a federal public defender. >> Jake was in the courtroom for the proceedings today. Jake, would you learn? >> Well, for so long, nobody knew where he was. So it was somewhat shocking to see him brought into the courtroom by guard wearing a yellow jumpsuit with his long slicked back blond hair. And there's a lot still ahead in this case to put this in perspective for you. Yes, even pleaded guilty or not guilty yet. Making his first appearance this courthouse. Xavier Michael Barrett, aka Chiefsaholic is back in his old stomping ground, a city where is Wolf is recognizable worse face may not have been. >> His face also unknown in a string of bank robberies laid out by prosecutors weaving a narrative that the Chiefs fan was funding his gameday travels by holding up financial institutions. But following an arrest in California, Babbitt Ares charged with one count of bank theft and one count of transporting stolen property across state lines. This comes after prosecutors say he cut off an ankle monitor after being arrested for a bank robbery in Oklahoma. At that time, he provided his addresses a mailbox in Overland Park in a strip mall off of Antioch customers out there say it just raises more questions receive in mail right here. I mean, what do you think about that? Well, that's a little crazy, isn't it? I mean, that's a that's a bizarre thing. But it's kind of funny to say that just >> ran right here. You know, it's very you know, it's kind of like there's nothing about it here. So it's kind of surprising. I definitely think there's some issues going on there besides just being a fan of the Chiefs. sounds like maybe some cares, need it there or some rehabilitation some point. >> Now, also when arrested following a bank robbery in Oklahoma. The suspect here listed that his status was homeless. And again, as we brought up earlier, this was after prosecutors say he was are in the process of laundering about a million dollars in casino chips throughout this
