(Glendale Police Department)<\/strong><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As you guys remember, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/calese.crowder\/\">Calese Crowder<\/a> was caught on video kneeling behind Michaela Witter as she was at a California Barnes &amp; Noble. Not long after the video went viral, Crowder &#8220;the sniffer&#8221; was arrested and taken into custody for stalking a home with children. He was released, then arrested for failing to register as a sex offender. Witter doesn&#8217;t expect him to remain in custody for long. She calls for the state&#8217;s justice system to take Crowder&#8217;s actions more seriously before something serious happens to someone.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>From Fox news:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m relieved that he was arrested again, but I unfortunately don&#8217;t have high expectations with him being kept there for long,&#8221; said Michaela Witter, one of at least two women who caught Crowder on video sneaking up behind them in the Burbank bookstore.<\/p>\n<p>She was right. He walked out of jail again Friday, with Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon&#8217;s office telling Fox News Digital they did not have enough evidence to prosecute his latest allied crime &#8212; failing to register as a sex offender.<\/p>\n<p>After Witter posted about her encounter on TikTok, the video went viral, and she said at least 20 other women reached out to her with similar stories.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve talked with others who were affected by Calese Crowder, who suffer from PTSD because of him, don&#8217;t feel safe going out because of him. And I want to know why the justice system isn&#8217;t taking this as seriously as it is,&#8221; she told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n<p>The repeat offender has been in and out of police custody since at least 2005, records show. He served time in state prison on burglary and robbery charges and on Tuesday pleaded no contest to peeping and prowling. He was freed from custody hours later despite a 60-day jail sentence under California&#8217;s laws.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News provides the balance of the story <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/victim-of-barnes-noble-sniffer-blasts-repeated-catch-and-release-he-is-unfit-for-society\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you guys remember, Calese Crowder was caught on video kneeling behind Michaela Witter as she &hellip; <a title=\"Calese Crowder, the &#8220;Barnes &#038; Noble sniffer,&#8221; gets out of jail before returning\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=146214\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Calese Crowder, the &#8220;Barnes &#038; Noble sniffer,&#8221; gets out of jail before returning<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[209,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-146214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-teh-stoopid","category-society"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=146214"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146214\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=146214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=146214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=146214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
