Busted Again: The Curious Case of the Serial Butt Sniffer

In a headline that seems ripped straight from a bizarre crime novel, a 38-year-old man named Calese Carron Crowder was recently arrested for allegedly sniffing a woman’s butt at a Nordstrom Rack in Burbank, California. Yes, you read that right. Surveillance footage showed him engaging in some rather lewd behavior. It’s hard to believe that someone would actually think this is going to end well, but here we are!

Crowder, who already has a checkered past as a registered sex offender, is currently facing new charges of loitering with the intent to commit a crime, alongside the dubious title of “serial butt sniffer.” After police were alerted to his predatory antics, they found him at a nearby Walmart attempting to escape the embarrassing scene. Imagine the conversations happening over those shopping carts—“Oh, just another day in the life of a pants-sniffing criminal!”

The whole saga prompts an interesting thought: what goes through someone’s mind to engage in such bizarre behavior? Maybe it’s a call for help, or perhaps they just missed the memo on personal space. Either way, Crowder’s story is a reminder to keep an eye out while shopping—you never know who’s lurking about, and what they’re sniffing! What strange encounters have you had while shopping?
