Sex offender dubbed ‘Burbank Butt Sniffer’ sentenced for parole violation

A convicted sex offender known as the “Burbank Butt Sniffer” has been sentenced for a parole violation, the Los Angeles County District Attorney told NBC4 Investigates.

Thirty-nine-year-old Calese Crowder was back before a judge on Tuesday for parole violations and was sentenced to 105 days in jail.

Crowder was previously arrested twice for inappropriate behavior at businesses in Burbank and arrested after a parole and sex-registrant compliance check in Glendale.

In July, 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.

In August, Crowder was arrested again after allegedly sniffing a woman’s behind inside a Walgreens store in Burbank.

Crowder has a history of similar offenses in Glendale and Burbank dating back to 2021, according to police.

Crowder was arrested Nov. 24 after failing to meet an annual sex-offender registration requirement for more than two months, Glendale police told NBC4 Investigates. The Glendale Police Department Assaults Unit arrested Crowder, dubbed by authorities as “Butt Sniffer,” at his residence.

Crowder was on parole at the time for a burglary.

In December, he was sentenced to 99 days in jail for a parole violation.
