After an intense manhunt, Armstrong was later arrested in connection to the assault. He was charged with aggravated child molestation, cruelty to children in the 1st degree and other charges.
According to a search of his criminal history, Armstrong has been arrested in the past on forgery, burglary, robbery and false imprisonment charges. Most recently, Armstrong was in Wilcox State Prison on a robbery conviction.
