Okay, so you wanna know about why CJ Stroud’s dad got locked up? It’s a bit of a story, lemme tell ya how I dug into this.

First off, I hit up Google. Straight up, typed in “CJ Stroud’s dad crime” and started clicking links. Lots of sports articles, but I was lookin’ for the real dirt.
- I checked out some news archives, you know, the ones that look like they haven’t been updated since 1998.
- Then I went down a rabbit hole of court records. Those things are a pain to read, all legal jargon.
Next, I tried to find some local news reports from the area where his dad was living. That’s where the gold usually is. Local reporters dig deep.
I found bits and pieces about a drug-related conviction. Something about a long sentence, like, way more than you’d think for just possession.
The key was connecting the dots.
Turns out, it wasn’t just a little weed or somethin’. It was way bigger. Like, distribution, conspiracy, the whole shebang.
Basically, he was involved in some serious stuff. It wasn’t just a “wrong place, wrong time” kinda deal.
I cross-referenced the court documents with news reports to make sure I had the timeline right. You gotta be careful with this stuff, ’cause rumors spread fast online.
The final step? Just putting it all together. Real simple, he was involved with some not-so-great people, got caught, and paid the price. Plain and simple.

It ain’t a pretty story, but that’s what happened. Hope that clears things up for ya.
