The Kansas City Chiefs are no strangers to having fans that also commit robberies on the side.
First there was “Chiefsaholic”, now there’s a new case.
Per FOX4 News Kansas City, a local and Chiefs fan by the name of Joseph Brown Sr. has been charged with stealing more than $45,000 worth of equipment from the Miami Dolphins organization in January of this year.
More specifically, earlier this week, prosecutors from Jackson County charged Brown with a class C felony charge of stealing.
Court documents indicate that police officers responded to the crime back on Jan. 14, the day after the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs squared off at Arrowhead Stadium for the AFC Divisional Wildcard game.
Officers talked to a Miami Dolphins representative, who claimed that a box truck — which contained some equipment for the team — was broken into.
Miami Dolphins officials have been working with detectives since the teams were stolen.
Detectives tracked down surveillance footage of a dark grey vehicle, which has been identified as the suspect’s car, a Ford-F150.
Police officers located the car and noticed that it had equipment boxes that matched those that were stolen from the Dolphins’ box truck. The driver reportedly sped away when the police drove over to the vehicle.
The incident in question isn’t Brown’s only run-in with the law in regard to stealing, as he was reportedly convicted of stealing back in 2021 as well.
Brown’s bond has reportedly been set at $50,000 in cash.
The Dolphins are fresh off a very successful 2023 regular season, as the team ended up with an 11-6 record, which was tied with the Buffalo Bills for the top record of any squad in the AFC East division. The Bills won the division, though.
The Miami Dolphins wound up losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs in January by 19 points, but this could ignite a new rivalry between the two AFC squads.
Did Kansas City Chiefs Super Fan “Chiefsaholic” Inspire This New Robbery Aimed At The Miami Dolphins?
Back In February, Xavier Babudar, known for wearing a grey wolf suit at Chiefs games at home and on the road, pleaded guilty to money laundering, transporting stolen property across state lines and bank robbery, with a sentencing hearing coming in July.
Chiefsaholic became a bit of a myth and legend to some as it took a while for the Kansas City Chiefs mega fan to be apprehended.
The defendant tried to conceal hundreds of thousands of dollars in stolen cash by using it to gamble online and at casinos, but the odds caught up with him,” Moore said in a release. “With today’s conviction, he will be held accountable for the full scope of his criminal conduct, including his attempt to flee from justice.”
