Serial Butt Sniffer Arrested Again

Authorities have apprehended a man suspected of repeatedly sniffing women’s clothing at retail stores. The latest incident occurred at a clothing store in Burbank, California, where surveillance footage allegedly captured him engaging in inappropriate behavior.

Police report that 38-year-old Calese Carron Crowder was identified following a tip about a suspicious individual loitering in the women’s department of Nordstrom Rack at the Empire Center shopping mall. Store security footage showed Crowder following a woman closely, crouching behind her, and inappropriately sniffing her from behind.

By the time officers arrived to investigate, Crowder had already left the scene. However, they tracked him down at a nearby Walmart within the same shopping center and made an arrest. According to police, he is a registered sex offender who was on active parole during the incident.

This case echoes a viral video from 2023, in which Crowder was recorded following and sniffing a woman’s butt at a Barnes & Noble bookstore. Crowder’s past includes a lengthy criminal record related to similar behaviors.

He remains in custody, facing charges of loitering with intent to commit a crime. His bail has been set at $100,000, which he is unlikely to post soon.
