San Francisco 49ers owner arrested in Ohio
San Francisco 49ers owner John "Jed" York was arrested in the Valley over the weekend and found guilty of two misdemeanor charges.
Jed York, the owner of the San Francisco 49ers, entered a no-contest plea to reduced charges in Ohio following his arrest on suspicion of engaging in prostitution. The charges were amended to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and possession of criminal tools, which prosecutors believe was a cell phone used to respond to a prostitution advertisement.
York, 46, was arrested in East Palestine by agents from the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force, who intercepted communication where he responded to a prostitution website. York received one day in jail and a fine of $1,150, with time served already credited to him. York, who also owns UK football clubs Leeds and Rangers, is subject to the NFL's personal conduct policy, though the league has not commented on the matter.
