'Butt-Sniffing Bandit' Arrested Again — Less Than 1 Month After Similar Incident Involving a Woman's Buttocks By Toria Sheffield

A man — dubbed the “butt-sniffing bandit” online — has once again been arrested for smelling a woman’s buttocks.

Calese Carron Crowder was arrested for the same crime within less than a month on Wednesday, Aug. 20. He was allegedly caught sniffing a woman at a Walgreens in Burbank, Calif., ABC 7 News, CBS News and Fox 11 reported.

Store employees called the police, and Crowder, 38, was arrested several hours later at around 10:45 p.m. local time, per ABC 7. 

He was then booked in jail on Thursday, Aug. 21, at 1:03 a.m., public records from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) show.

Crowder was previously arrested for the same crime on July 22. At the time, police responded to a report of a “suspicious individual loitering in the women’s department” at a Nordstrom Rack in Burbank.

When officers arrived, Crowder had left the department store. Officers later spotted him at a nearby Walmart.

“Using the store’s surveillance system, officers monitored the suspect as he moved through various departments,” the Burbank Police Department (BPD) said in a press release. 

“While in the women’s section, the suspect was observed following a female customer, crouching near her, and engaging in lewd behavior by inappropriately sniffing her buttocks,” authorities added.

Crowder was charged with one count of loitering with intent to commit a crime for the July 22 incident. His bail was set at $100,000.

Authorities said Crowder is a registered sex offender with “a documented history of similar arrests for lewd conduct in both Glendale and Burbank, dating back to 2021,” per the release.

PEOPLE reached out to the BPD and the LASD for comment on Sunday, Aug. 24, but did not receive an immediate response.
