BURBANK, CA – In the sun-drenched shopping meccas of Burbank, one man is living his truth with the dedication of an Olympic athlete and the focus of a bloodhound chasing barbecue. Meet Calese Carron Crowder, 38, registered sex offender and self-appointed Chief Nasal Inspector of women’s rear ends in public stores.

Crowder has allegedly been workshopping his “crouch and sniff” routine for years, reportedly refining his signature retail maneuver in stores across Glendale and Burbank. His greatest hits include multiple incidents of trailing women, without consent, and enthusiastically sniffing their buttocks in public.

And the man simply refuses to quit. Since at least 2021, authorities say he’s been hauled in for multiple incidents of lewd conduct, peeping, and butt-sniffing in Glendale and Burbank. He was nabbed in 2023 by Glendale PD for allegedly peeping into a family’s home. On July 22, 2025, Burbank police busted him at a Nordstrom Rack (where surveillance caught him crouching behind a shopper like a sniffing ninja). Less than a month later, on August 20, he was back in cuffs at a Walgreens for the exact same activity: trailing a woman and taking an unrestrained whiff.

Then, just to prove he’s well-rounded, he picked up a November 24, 2025 arrest in Glendale for failing to update his sex offender registration — a brief detour before presumably returning to his true calling.

Yet the lingering scent of an upbeat twist remains. While the rest of us struggle to maintain basic habits like flossing or drinking water, Crowder shows up with the consistency of a Swiss timepiece. Focused, on a specific goal, with what can only be described as his version of tunnel vision. In a world full of quitters, this guy is out here building a legacy, one suspicious crouch at a time.

Although Crowder is back in custody once again, he seems to be living proof that true passion cannot be contained by laws, or common sense. And given the Golden State’s lenient stance on crime, it won’t be long before unsuspecting female shoppers bend over to reach the bottom shelf and discover an oddly behaved man hovering near their backside.

So until the finer retail outlets in Southern California upgrade their Emergency Action Plans to include “Sniffer Alerts” or “Crowder Protocols”, Women in Southern California should keep their eyes open, and maybe invest in those high-waisted reinforced pants.

Some people collect stamps, and some collect fine wines. But Calese Carron Crowder… well, you know.
