A convicted sex offender with a history of bizarre and repeated criminal behavior was arrested again this week after he was allegedly caught sniffing a woman’s backside inside a retail store in Southern California, as reported by the New York Post.

Calese Carron Crowder, 36, was taken into custody on Tuesday after he was captured on surveillance video at a Nordstrom Rack located in the Burbank Empire Center.

According to the Burbank Police Department, Crowder was seen crouching near a woman in the women’s clothing section and engaging in a lewd act involving non-consensual contact with her body.

Authorities said Crowder was observed trailing the woman around the store before he was seen sniffing her from behind. Officers responded to the location after receiving multiple reports of a suspicious individual behaving inappropriately near female customers.

Crowder, who is a registered sex offender, was located shortly after the incident inside a nearby Walmart and was taken into custody without incident. According to police, he is currently on active parole related to prior lewd conduct charges dating back to 2021.

The suspect is no stranger to law enforcement or viral notoriety. In August 2023, a video that circulated widely on TikTok showed Crowder sneaking up behind women at a Barnes & Noble bookstore in Burbank and sniffing them without their knowledge or consent.

That same month, he was arrested again for peering into a family’s home in Glendale. Despite his growing rap sheet, he was released shortly afterward.

Crowder’s criminal history includes multiple arrests for indecent exposure, burglary, and robbery. According to authorities, the latest arrest adds to a growing list of disturbing incidents in which he has targeted unsuspecting women in public places.
