I spoke to the
ex-wife this morning. Mrs. Armstrong tells me that Brian cared for and
loved his son, seeing him every week. She also said that the only
reason that he didn't pay was because he couldn't, he was out of work.
She also told me that she hasn't been able to tell her son that daddy is
gone. She has been making up excuses, because she can't tell him
that daddy is dead.
She confirmed
that he was arrested for failing to appear at a child support hearing.
(As I myself have suffered). I explained how there probably wasn't
a law supporting his arrest in the first place for failing to appear in
front of a hearing officer. She gave me the number of the attorney
that she has representing her suing over the death.
She also told
me that the State Attorney General's office called on Wednesday saying
that they have the autopsy, but then hasn't supplied it to her or her lawyer
since then. The stories about the guy being bruised all over his
body don't match the story the state is trying to put out that he died
because he's an alcoholic. Mrs. Armstrong's response was "yeah sure,
tell me another one." when she told me about it.
