HS Files Restraining Order Against Jonathan Martin After Post of Gun, Threats

Harvard-Westlake High School has filed a restraining order against former NFL player Jonathan Martin on Thursday after a threatening post on social media, per TMZ Sports. 

An alum of the school, Martin tagged two former high school classmates as well as former Dolphins teammates Richie Incognito and Mike Pouncey with a picture of a shotgun. The caption read, "When you're a bullying victim and a coward, your options are suicide or revenge."

He was detained by police in what was treated as a "serious threat" by the LAPD.

"The investigation is continuing, but rest assured we believe there is no threat to any school in the LA area," LAPD spokesperson Tony Im said last Friday, per A.J. Perez of USA Today.

According to Omar Kelly of the Sun Sentinel, Martin checked into a mental health facility last Friday.

Martin was a second-round pick by the Dolphins in 2012 and became an immediate starter at tackle before Miami traded him to the San Francisco 49ers in 2014. That year, NFL investigator Ted Wells released a report detailing a pattern of harassment, bullying and abuse by Miami teammates Incognito, Pouncey and John Jerry, causing mental health issues and suicidal thoughts for Martin.

He last appeared in an NFL game in 2014 and officially retired in 2015.
