A Southern California man with a history of arrests for sniffing women’s rear ends in public will spend at least the next four and a half
months in jail after being caught – again.
Calese Carron Crowder, 38, was ordered to serve 135 days in Los Angeles County Jail on Tuesday after admit-
ting to violating his parole, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
Crowder, a registered sex offender, was arrested in mid-August for a “butt-sniff- ing” incident inside an unspecified store in Burbank. That arrest came roughly a month after he was taken into custody
for a similar offense at Burbank’s Empire Center shopping center.
In the July incident, police responded to a Nordstrom Rack following reports of a suspicious man loitering in the women’s department. By the time officers arrived, the suspect had already left the store. Crowder was later located and arrested at a nearby Walmart.
Surveillance footage
showed Crowder following a female shopper inside the Nordstrom Rack, crouching behind her, and “engaging in lewd behavior by inap- propriately sniffing her but- tocks,” according to Burbank police.
At the time of his arrest, Crowder was on parole for a series of similar incidents in Burbank and Glendale dating back to 2021.
In August 2023, a woman named Michaela
Witter posted a video on TikTok showing Crowder crouching behind her inside a Barnes & Noble in Burbank and appearing to sniff her backside. When confronted, Crowder claimed he was tying his shoes, Witter told KTLA.
The video eventually led to Crowder’s arrest.
