Kansas City super fan ‘ChiefsAholic’ is ordered to pay $10.8million to a bank teller after assaulting the woman with a gun during his string of robberies… but expert warns victim is unlikely to ever get paid
udge handed down the order last week against the 29-year-old known as ‘ChiefsAholic,’ who admittedly dressed in a wolf’s costume and team gear to commit his robberies.
Former bank teller Payton Garcia alleged Bubudar used a gun to assault her during a robbery of a Bixby, Oklahoma, credit union in December 2022, court records show.The judge ordered Bubudar to pay Garcia $3.6 million for her injuries and loss of income, and $7.2 million in punitive damages. A message left Tuesday with Bubudar’s attorney was not immediately returned.
Garcia’s attorney, Frank Frasier, acknowledged that it would be difficult to collect the money for his client, but said the judgment sends an important message.’I think the judge feels that way,’ Frasier told The Associated Press. ‘She did not come right out and say it during the hearing, but I argued that nobody should be able to profit from this, be it notoriety, clicks, views or likes.’
Frasier said if Bubudar ever sold his story, wrote a book or was somehow able to profit from his story, his client would be able to collect some of the judgment against him.
