“Using the store’s surveillance system, officers monitored the suspect as he moved through various departments,” the Burbank Police Department said.
“While in the women’s section, the suspect was observed following a female customer, crouching near her and engaging in lewd behaviour by inappropriately sniffing her buttocks.”
Crowder has a history of similar strange behaviour dating back to 2021.
He was caught in another butt-sniffing incident captured on video at a Barnes And Noble bookstore In August 2023.
In the video, he can be seen crouching down near a woman’s legs and when confronted, says he was tying his shoes.
