Former 49ers lineman arrested after disturbing gun threat on Instagram

Former NFL offensive lineman Jonathan Martin has been arrested after posting a picture on his Instagram story that caused Harvard-Westlake High School to close its campuses in Los Angeles. 

The picture Martin posted is of a gun and shells laid out on a bed with the message "When you're a bully victum & a coward, you're options are suicide, or revenge." Martin also tagged former Dolphins teammates Richie Incognito and Mike Pouncey, along with writing #HarvardWestlake and #MiamiDolphins. 

Martin is an alumnus of the Southern California prep high school. He was also the target of Incognito's bullying and taunts during the 2013 season when he was teammates with him in Miami. 

The 28-year-old played for the 49ers in the 2014 season. He has not appeared in a regular season game since. Martin also spent his college career at Stanford.
