The victim, who has been in a months-long relationship with Armstrong per the document, told police she saw a text message from another woman on his phone, leading to a verbal argument. The victim told police that Armstrong, 56, had been drinking, and became irate during the argument, demanding the apartment keys, which she gave him, the affidavit read.
Darrel Armstrong is said to have been intoxicated at the time of the attack and was heard talking to someone else on the phone shortly before he hit his girlfriend.
