A former professional football player has reportedly been detained by police after sharing a photo of a shotgun surrounded by ammunition on his Instagram Thursday evening, alongside a disturbing caption.


Miami Dolphins ex-lineman Jonathan Martin has reportedly been detained while police investigate an incident surrounding a disturbing picture he shared on Instagram, law enforcement told TMZ.

The firearms-focused post came at a time when the nation's sensitivities about guns have been heightened by mass shootings and violence. After the devastating shooting deaths of 17 people at a high school in Parkland, Fla., people around the country are engaged in a heated debate over guns.


Sgt. Barry Montgomery of the Los Angeles Police Department told Fox News that "the individual we believe to be responsible for the social media post has been detained and the investigation is ongoing." He would not, however, confirm the identity of the person being held.


Martin allegedly posted a picture to his Instagram that showed a shotgun surrounded by shells with the caption “when you’re a bully victim & a coward, you options are suicide, or revenge.”

In the post he tagged two former teammates, Richie Incognito and Mike Pouncey, with whom he had been bullied by in 2013, as well as his former high school Harvard-Westlake in Los Angeles.


Officials at Harvard-Westlake were forced to close the school’s campuses and sent an email out informing students of the incident,The Los Angeles Times reported.

"The safety of our students, faculty and staff is always our primary concern. So, out of an abundance of caution, we made the decision to close school today," the email read. "The school's private security team is working with the Los Angeles Police Department, which is present on both campuses.”

The email added that there was no “imminent threat” to the students.

Martin entered the spotlight in 2013 when he accused Incognito and Pouncey of harassment in the locker room. An NFL investigation found that Martin was indeed being harassed.

He retired in 2015.

Martin’s disturbing post comes just a week after a lone gunman opened fire in a Florida high school, killing 17 students.

“when you’re a bully victim & a coward, you options are suicide, or revenge.”

To me this is an anti-bulling statement not a threat... I could be wrong but that's how I read it... Mellow

He’s telling the other two to kill themselves or take revenge while including a picture of guns and ammo.

It’s a challenge.


An accused bully is sending the message to those that accused him:

“when you’re a bully victim & a coward, you options are suicide, or revenge.”


you are a coward. do something about it (bring it on) or kill yourself.... sounds like the accused bully may well be one. It's not hard to comprehend. I'm not saying there wasn't an overreaction but comprehension is important LOL



I hate that word though and think its over used.

you are right. I misread it. I won't change it though. when I'm wrong I'm wrong.

so it looks like he is saying his only options are revenge or killing himself right? still a threat?

Bully victim on an NFL team still doesn't compute to me. He should have gotten exposed far before the NFL.

NFL has gotten soft by historical standards.

This dude is nuts, keep him off the zoloft.

I thought same thing at first, it is an overreaction. Then I found out he tagged the players he was bullied by in the past and then it becomes a threat. Very stupid on his part and I can definitely see why they would detain him. My guess is Incognito and Pouncey have moved on but Martin has not. Whatever happened in that locker room must have been traumatic but two wrongs don't make a right. He should seek help.

Not that well known but Lecter was actually making a joke saying that.
He was supposed to be taking drugs called monoamine oxidase inhibitors – MAOIs.
As a psychiatrist, he knew this. And wasn't.


Three things you can’t eat with MAOIs? Liver, beans, wine.

I do know of MAO inhibitors, know of some bad interactions, but absolutely did not know of those three items...quite an inside joke.

so I've been meaning to ask you; what were you teaching before you retired, or at least in what field is your advanced degree?

Does no one else find it ironic that they detained a former professional football player over an Instagram post, but totally ignored the numerous social media posts by the Florida shooter?

A professional football player complaining about being "bullied" in the locker room???
No more snapping of wet towels in the shower room.

Over-reaction is exactly what I would call it. Especially considering what was overlooked in Florida.
Guess it's easier to make an example of a guy with money.
