Calese Carron Crowder, 38, a registered sex offender, was arrested in Burbank, California, for allegedly taking a whiff of a woman’s rear end in public. And it wasn't his first go-round at this particular rodeo as police dubbed him a 'serial butt sniffer.'
Crowder's recent arrest comes less than two weeks after his release from Men's Central Jail in Los Angeles on August 9 following a July 22 arrest for a similar alleged incident at a Nordstrom Rack in Burbank’s Empire Center.
In the previous incident, Crowder allegedly buried his face in a woman’s backside before fleeing and was later found sniffing other women at a nearby Walmart.
Crowder has a history of similar "lewd conduct" since 2021 and has been charged with loitering with intent to commit a crime.
Crowder's alleged actions first gained attention in August 2023 after a viral TikTok video showed him allegedly sniffing a woman at a Barnes & Noble bookstore while she was reading the spirituality book "The Four Agreements." He crouched behind her attempting to look like he was browsing the shelves when she caught him leaning into her for an unwanted sniff.
Afterward, other women came forward with similar claims from stores like Urban Outfitters and Marshalls.
Because the man is allegedly such a prolific offender, police urge anyone who believes they were targeted in a similar way to contact the Burbank Police Investigations Division at 818-238-3210.
