Jonathan Martin Granted Permission to Leave Mental Health Treatment Facility

Former NFL offensive tackle Jonathan Martin was given clearance to leave a mental health treatment facility after its clinical director appeared in court on his behalf.

On Tuesday, TMZ Sports reported a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge granted Martin's release following his February arrest for a threatening Instagram post. He'll be forced to wear a GPS monitoring device and attend outpatient treatment five days a week.

The 28-year-old Pittsburgh native was also told he must avoid the Harvard-Westlake School in L.A., the Miami Dolphins' facilities and former teammates Richie Incognito and Mike Pouncey, per TMZ Sports. His next court date is April 25.

Ryan Menezes and Kate Mather of the Los Angeles Times reported Martin faces four felony counts of making criminal threats and a misdemeanor count of carrying a loaded firearm in public.

The Stanford product attended Harvard-Westlake before becoming a two-time All-American with the Cardinal.

Miami selected him in the second round of the 2012 draft. He was involved in a high-profile bullying scandal also involving Incognito and Pouncey during his time with the Dolphins.

Martin retired from the NFL in 2015 after stints with the San Francisco 49ers and Carolina Panthers.
