Jonathan Martin made the disturbing Instagram post last week
A prestigious high school in Los Angeles has filed a restraining order against former Miami Dolphins star Jonathan Martin following his disturbing Instagram post.
Harvard-Westlake School filed the workplace violence prevention restraining order against former student and NFL offensive lineman Martin on Thursday at the Santa Monica Courthouse, ESPN reported.
Martin, 28, attended Harvard-Westlake, an elite private school costing $38,000 a year and popular with celebrities, before going on to Stanford.
He hasn’t played in the NFL since 2015.
He was detained by police after a threatening social media post forced the school to close down campuses in Los Angeles suburbs Studio City and Beverly Crest last Friday afternoon.
The former Dolphins player later checked into a mental health facility the same day, according to a report from the Sun Sentinel.
It’s not clear whether Martin is currently in the mental health facility, which is why the school sought the restraining order.
The restraining order prohibits Martin from entering the campus and requires him to stay 150 yards away from school properties and facilities.
Martin, 28, posted this picture on his private Instagram of a shotgun and cartridges on a bed, with the caption: ‘When you’re a bully victim & a coward, your options are suicide, or revenge’

He must also stay 150 yards away from president and head of the school Rick Commons.
The threat in question, posted to an Instagram account believed to belong to Martin, read ‘When you’re a bully victim & a coward, your options are suicide, or revenge.’
The post also included an image of a shotgun and shells, with four social media accounts tagged and hashtags for Harvard-Westlake and the Miami Dolphins.
Among the four names tagged were former Dolphins teammates Richie Incognito and Mike Pouncey.
Martin accused Incognito and Pouncey of bullying following racially-charged incidents in 2013.

Incognito was suspended by the team for three months after Martin left the club midway through the 2013 season.
Incognito left voicemails on Martin’s phone calling him a ‘half-n****r piece of s**t’, threatening to slap his mother and even making death threats against Martin.
The current Buffalo Bills player also joked about ‘running a train’ on Martin’s sister, and made other crude remarks about her.
Martin, who played offensive tackle for the Dolphins, reportedly checked into a hospital for emotional distress over the incident, and returned to his parents home in California.
He ultimately quit the team and debated giving up on his career, feeling such psychological duress that he said he twice considered committing suicide.
In November that year, Incognito was suspended for ‘conduct detrimental to the team.’
Also tagged in the Instagram post was sports agent James Dunleavy, VP Basketball at Independent Sports & Entertainment and TJ Taylor, a top executive at an exclusive dating app – both appear to be former students at Harvard-Westlake.
It’s not clear whether Martin also suffered from bullying at Harvard-Westlake.
Neighbors of Martin at the upscale, modern apartment building in West Hollywood where he lives, were stunned at the news.
‘He seemed very quiet and pleasant when I would run into him in the elevator or the garage,’ one woman – who lives on the third floor, the same as Martin’s – told DailyMail.com.
‘He would say, ‘hey’ and that was it. He wasn’t very talkative.
‘He’s real big but he didn’t strike me as somebody who was aggressive or violent. He was like a gentle giant.’
