A man dubbed “The Butt Sniffer,” who was previously arrested on suspicion of inappropriate behavior at Southern California businesses, has been arrested again after reports of similar activity at two Glendale stores.<\/p>\n
Calese Crowder, 39, was arrested Friday afternoon after two stores in Glendale reported a man acting suspiciously and bending down around people, Glendale police told NBC4 Investigates. Police reviewed security camera video from both locations and Crowder was identified as the suspect.<\/p>\n
He was arrested a short time later in the 100 block of South Brand Boulevard and arrested on suspicion of a parole violation. Crowder was being held without bail. <\/p>\n
Law enforcement sources told NBC4 Investigates that one of the businesses was a Marshalls clothing store. At about the same time a grocery store in the 1500 block of Glenoaks Bouelvard called 911 to report a customer bending down behind people and attempting to sniff, the sources said.<\/p>\n
The investigation is ongoing and the case will be submitted to prosecutors for possible criminal charges.<\/p>\n
In July 2025<\/a>, Crowder was arrested at the Burbank Nordstrom Rack after reports of someone roaming the women’s department and sexually harassing a female customer, according to the Burbank Police Department.<\/p>\n
