Ex-49er Jonathan Martin in custody after alleged online threats

The private Studio City high school attended by former Stanford and 49ers offensive lineman Jonathan Martin was closed Friday after an Instagram post linked to the player made references to a possible gun-related response to bullying he’d been subjected to in high school and the NFL.

According to the USA Today, Harvward-Westlake students received an alert before classes were to start telling them that the school would be closed Friday. The paper quoted a Los Angeles police spokesperson as saying the closure was related to “an Instagram post by a former student who is now an adult.”

According to ABC, Martin has been taken into custody.
