A Repeat Offender

This is the second arrest for Crowder in less than a month. On July 22, officers detained him after surveillance video from a Nordstrom Rack at Empire Center showed him loitering in the women’s section before crouching behind a shopper and allegedly sniffing her backside.

He was tracked to a nearby Walmart, arrested, and charged with loitering with intent to commit a crime. At the time, bail was set at $100,000, and his court date was scheduled for August 1.

That arrest drew widespread attention, adding to a growing public record of Crowder’s unusual behavior.

Experts note that parole holds, such as the one currently keeping Crowder behind bars, are often used when local cases cannot move forward, but a pattern of violation is clear.

For residents in Glendale and Burbank, the high-profile nature of these incidents, some of which have gone viral on social media, has also sparked conversations about public safety in retail spaces.

What Comes Next

As of Saturday, Crowder remains in custody under the supervision of the California Department of Corrections. It is unclear whether new charges will be filed, but his parole status is likely to keep him detained in the near term.

Authorities have urged the public to report suspicious behavior in retail or community spaces immediately, particularly in cases involving repeat offenders with known criminal histories.
