Repeat Butt Sniffing Perp Arrested Again at Walmart

BURBANK, Calif. — A 38-year-old registered sex offender was arrested last week after allegedly engaging in lewd behavior inside a Walmart near the Empire Center shopping area, Burbank police said.

Officers responded on July 22 to a report of a suspicious man loitering in the women’s department at Nordstrom Rack on North Victory Place. By the time officers arrived, the man had already left the store.

Police later located the suspect, identified as Calese Carron Crowder of Glendale, inside the nearby Walmart at 1301 North Victory Place. Surveillance footage showed Crowder in the women’s section of the store, where he was seen following a female customer, crouching behind her, and inappropriately sniffing her buttocks.

Officers detained Crowder, who is currently on active parole and registered as a sex offender. He has a prior record of similar arrests in both Glendale and Burbank, dating back to 2021.

The Burbank City Attorney’s Office has charged Crowder with one count of loitering with intent to commit a crime. He remains in custody with bail set at $100,000. His next court appearance is scheduled for August 1.

The investigation is ongoing. Police are urging anyone with information or who believes they may have been a victim to contact the Burbank Police Investigations Division at (818) 238-3210.
