Former Miami Dolphins lineman Jonathan Martin, was questioned by Los Angeles police after a threatening Instagram post on his account .
According to reports, Martin was detained by investigators after the post showed a shotgun and included mentions of two former teammates who had once harassed him.
The post also included mentions of the Instagram usernames of former Miami Dolphins players Richie Incognito and Mike Pouncey and said;
“suicide and revenge were the only options for a victim of bullying”.
Though it’s not clear whether Martin made the post himself, the Harvard-Westlake prep school was evacuated earlier Friday after officials were made aware of the post.
Below is the IG post;
It may be recalled that Martin left the Miami Dolphins midseason in 2013 after accusing teammates of bullying.
An NFL investigation found that Martin had been persistently harrassed by Pouncey and teammate John Jerry.
The NFL’s investigation also found that teammates threatened to rape Martin’s sister, called him a long list of slurs and bullied him for not being “black enough.”
Martin, who underwent counseling for emotional issues after the bullying scandal, posted on Facebook in 2015 that difficulties in football led him to attempt suicide multiple times.
