As police came to investigate, he admitted there was a gun on the back seat of his vehicle, but then found himself having to tell the officers who else was in the pick-up truck.
As the video continued to stream, he hesitantly confessed it was a woman he was having an affair with, but claimed his wife knew.
Armstrong, who was released after eight hours in the cells, said he would be taking a week off.
