Babudar was initially charged in December with one count each of armed robbery and assault while masked or disguised at a credit union in Bixby, south of Tulsa. His arrest went viral on social media as other fans speculated about the incident.

He was released on bond with an ankle monitor in February. But the weekend before he was scheduled to appear in court for arraignment on the bank robbery charge, a case manager was alerted that the GPS monitor had possibly been removed, according to court documents. It was found in a wooded area in Tulsa.

When Babudar failed to appear at his arraignment on March 27, a warrant was issued for his arrest and bond was set at $1 million. The Tulsa County District Attorney’s Office also filed an additional felony charge against Babudar, accusing him of removing the monitoring device.

Anyone with information on Babudar’s whereabouts is asked to call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS (8477).
