Prowler arrested by police in Glendale; former Laker Robert Horry says suspect stalked daughter

Glendale police announced the arrest of a man who they believe was peeping and prowling at a Glendale home last weekend. After his arrest, several new allegations have come to light, including some jarring information from a former NBA star. 

Calese Carron Crowder, 47, was arrested on suspicion of last Sunday's incident, as well as several other related cases, said Glendale Police Department Sergeant Victor Jackson. 

"In the most recent incident, Crowder is accused of peeping into the occupied residence of a Glendale family," Jackson said. "The family, including children, were home at the time of the incident. Glendale police patrol officers were quickly dispatched, and the Detective Bureau continued their investigation this week."

Crowder is being held in lieu of $10,000 bail and was scheduled for arraignment on Monday, where he was told to return to court on Sept. 14 and ordered to take sexual impulse classes.  

After his arrest, creepy social media came to light via TikTok, appearing to show Crowder in action as he got uncomfortably close to women inside of a Burbank Barnes & Noble Bookstore. 

The video, posted by Michaela Witter, shows Crowder bending down behind her as she perused bookshelves, claiming to "tie his shoe" within inches of her. Moments later, he can be seen walking towards another woman in the store, doing much of the same. 

"It felt like anywhere I moved, he kept following," Witter said in the video. 

A separate TikToker posted a nearly identical video, showing Crowder crouched down behind her and appearing to sniff her inside of a different Barnes & Noble. 

After the videos went viral, former Lakers star Robert Horry and his wife took to Twitter to further denounce the suspect, whom they claim stalked their daughter more than a decade ago when she was a teenager. 

"This is so upsetting. This man stalked my teenage daughter at our home over 10 years ago," Horry's wife Candice said. "He went to jail only to come out and continue the same behavior. Thank you for getting the word out that he is back. He needs to be put away for good!"

"Please help stop this predator by reposting and getting the word out," Horry said. 

Court records show that Crowder spent eight years in prison for peeping and prowling. However, since his release, he's been arrested multiple times for the same thing.
