Inside the Criminal Mind of a Repeat Alleged Butt Sniffer Caught in Burbank
Jaden Patel here, reporting live from the intersection of bizarre behavior and repeat offenses, where we explore the fine art of olfactory-based criminal activity. If you thought your daily routine was unusual, imagine having to explain to law enforcement why you felt it necessary to sniff someone’s behind—again.
Meet Calese Carron Crowder, 38, a man whose name is now synonymous with one of the more peculiar entries on the list of criminal behavior. According to Burbank police and confirmed by TMZ, Crowder has once again found himself in handcuffs for allegedly engaging in what can only be described as “lewd olfactory exploration.” This latest incident reportedly occurred Wednesday night at a store in Burbank, California.
This arrest comes just weeks after Crowder posted a $100,000 bail following a similar accusation at the Empire Shopping Center. Surveillance footage from that earlier incident allegedly showed him engaged in what can only be politely described as “close-range curiosity” toward a female shopper’s backside. Authorities charged him with loitering with intent to commit a crime—a charge so specific it makes one wonder how many times this exact scenario has played out before.
And play out it has. Law enforcement sources say Crowder has been arrested multiple times over the years for similar incidents, earning him a spot on the sex offender registry and keeping his parole officer busier than a squirrel in a nut factory. At the time of his last release, he was explicitly warned about his behavior and required to stay away from shopping centers and, presumably, human anatomy in general.
Details surrounding the current arrest remain sparse, but KTLA 5 first reported the news, and we’re sure more information will surface soon. After all, when you’ve made a habit out of sniffing strangers’ backsides, people tend to pay attention.
Crowder’s case raises questions not just about personal boundaries, but also about the effectiveness of bail conditions and parole supervision. One might reasonably ask: if a person is released under strict behavioral guidelines, shouldn’t there be some sort of monitoring system in place to ensure they don’t immediately return to their signature offense?
As for Crowder, he may soon find himself facing additional charges or extended probation. Either way, he’s proving that some habits are harder to kick than nicotine—and significantly less socially acceptable.
Well, there you have it. Humanity at its finest.
