Narrative:
I was working the local control position, north flow. I had several aircraft holding short of runway 35L and several different txwys. Runway 35L departure runway. A B727 was the third aircraft holding on taxiway Z. I stopped departures and crossed 7 aircraft across runway 35L (2 at taxiway Z). Air carrier X was not given a crossing clearance. When I got ready to start departures again, I looked down field and air carrier X was in the middle of runway 35L. He had crossed without approval, and since 2 had crossed ahead of him, he did not have the room to clear. I reported the pilot deviation to the supervisor but nothing was done about it (as is common practice at this facility).
