Former NBA referee Armstrong gets reduced sentence after plea
Armstrong, a 55 year old Virginia Beach resident, apologized before sentencing after admitting he swapped first class NBA tickets for cheaper ones and kept the difference. Prosecutors said he failed to report 160464 in income from downgrading tickets from 1989 to 1994, and his cooperation helped convict Michael Mathis. He resigned from the NBA after his plea and faced charges linked with referees Mathis, Toliver and Kersey.
