On Friday he pleaded guilty at Pine Rivers Magistrates Court to dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, being a public nuisance and not displaying his P plates.
The court heard at 6.40pm on Saturday, May 15 Stroud drove his purple Ford sedan to a roundabout on Endeavour Blvd.
Stroud, 21, tried to do a burnout, lost control of the car and crashed it into a tree and two street signs.
When police arrived they found the rear passenger side of the car was heavily damaged.
Witnesses from a nearby building told police they had seen the car performing a burnout and losing control.
The court heard multiple witnesses saw Stroud kick at an Uber vehicle, but Stroud denied this telling police he was kicking debris from the crash away.
He told police at the time he pulled up to the roundabout and “gave it some” but crashed into the tree.
His car was impounded for 90 days.
Stroud was on his provisional licence but did not have a red P plate on display in the vehicle.
Stroud is a full time prawn trawler seaman who has two children aged less than two.
The court heard the burnout and crash happened less than a month after Stroud was placed on a $200 good behaviour bond for unrelated offending.
Stroud was fined $800, forfeited the $200 bond and disqualified from driving for six months.
