Days prior, Armstrong said in a March 21 X post that he could “confirm that the warrants for my arrest” were due to sending emails to Cobb County, Georgia Superior Court Judge Kimberly Childs while acting as his own attorney.

He also claimed that Judge Childs had deleted her social media accounts due to the emails.

Armstrong was previously arrested in September 2023 while livestreaming outside the house of a former business associate whom he alleged had possession of his Lamborghini.
