The Brief
Calese Carron Crowder is a registered sex offender and known as a serial ‘butt sniffer’ after being caught multiple times following women and attempting to sniff their behinds.
He has a lengthy criminal past and was recently arrested in July.
Police say the majority of his crimes occur in Burbank and Glendale.
Calese Carron Crowder, a 38-year-old registered sex offender who is known as a serial “butt sniffer”, was arrested for the second time in two months for allegedly loitering at a Burbank store and sniffing women’s butts, authorities said.
Sheriff’s inmate records show Calese Carron Crowder of Glendale was arrested at about 10:45 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 20 by Burbank police.
He was booked into the Burbank Police Department at 1:08 a.m. Thursday but it appeared Burbank dropped its case on grounds of an insufficient complaint. The inmate records showed that Crowder was being held without bail by the California Department of Corrections on a code that indicates he was on parole, according to the legal information website Avvo.com.
On July 22, officers with the Burbank Police Department responded to a report of a suspicious individual loitering in the women’s department of Nordstrom Rack on North Victory Place.
Officers located 38-year-old Calese Carron Crowder at a Walmart, which was also located in the same shopping center.
Store surveillance showed Crowder following a female customer through the women’s section. Officers observed him crouching near the woman, attempting to sniff her butt, police said.
Crowder was immediately detained.
The Burbank City Attorney’s Office filed one count of loitering with intent to commit a crime. Crowder remains in custody with bail set at $100,000.
