what is cj stroud father in jail for

C.J. Strouds father, Coleridge Bernard Stroud III, is in jail after being sentenced to 38 years in prison following his guilty plea to counts of carjacking, kidnapping, robbery, and misdemeanor sexual battery in a drug-related incident in 2015. This incident resulted in Strouds father diving into San Diego Bay to elude law enforcement. Coleridge was subsequently convicted for the second time, which led to his family facing financial difficulties. C.J. Stroud has been vocal about the conditions of prisons and the need for reform in the criminal justice system, expressing his hope that his father can be released and attend one of his games. His father is currently serving time at Folsom State Prison near Sacramento and is not eligible for parole until 2040.
