The infamous ‘Butt-Sniffing Bandit’ has once again found himself on the wrong side of the law, less than a month after a similar incident. Calese Carron Crowder, 38, was arrested for allegedly sniffing a woman’s behind at a Walgreens store in California on August 20th. This marks the second time within a short span that Crowder has been apprehended for such lewd behaviour, reflecting a concerning pattern of behaviour.
According to reports from ABC 7 News, CBS News, and Fox 11, the incident took place at a Walgreens in Burbank, California. Store employees quickly alerted the authorities, leading to Crowder’s arrest a few hours later around 10:45 p.m. local time. Public records from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department show that he was booked into jail on August 21st at 1:03 a.m. The swift action by store staff and law enforcement highlights the importance of staying vigilant in public spaces.
This is not the first time Crowder has been in trouble for such actions. In July, he was arrested and charged with loitering with intent to commit a crime following a similar incident at a Nordstrom Rack in Burbank. The Burbank Police Department reported that Crowder was seen engaging in inappropriate behaviour towards a female customer, prompting his arrest. The recurrence of such incidents raises questions about the effectiveness of the justice system in dealing with individuals with a history of such behaviour.
Authorities have revealed that Crowder is a registered sex offender with a documented history of similar arrests for lewd conduct in Glendale and Burbank dating back to 2021. This disturbing pattern of behaviour suggests that Crowder may pose a continued threat to public safety. The public must remain vigilant and report any suspicious behaviour to law enforcement to prevent such incidents from reoccurring.
Efforts to curb such behaviour and protect individuals from harassment and assault must be intensified, especially in public spaces where such incidents are more likely to occur. Stores and businesses can also play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of their customers by promptly reporting any suspicious behaviour to the authorities.
The swift action taken by law enforcement in apprehending the ‘Butt-Sniffing Bandit’ sends a strong message that such behaviour will not be tolerated in society. It is essential for communities to work together to create a safe and secure environment for all individuals, free from harassment and intimidation.
As the case unfolds, it serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of remaining vigilant and looking out for one another in public spaces. By reporting suspicious behaviour and working together, communities can help prevent and address such incidents effectively. Let us all strive to create a culture of safety and respect where such incidents are not just swiftly addressed but hopefully prevented altogether. Together, we can make our communities safer for everyone.
