Former Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Jonathan Martin reportedly has been apprehended after his alleged — and shocking — Instagram post forced the shutting down of a school Martin previously attended.

Martin, who was a victim of a 2013 bullying scandal involving his former Dolphins teammates, allegedly posted a photo of a shotgun and ammunition with the caption: “When you’re a bully victim and a coward, your options are suicide or revenge.” The post linked to the Instagram addresses of two players, Richie Incognito and Mike Pouncey, who reportedly were the ringleaders in bullying Martin when they were teammates in Miami.
