Body-camera video shows 49ers owner Jed York's arrest in Ohio
Newly released footage shows San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York being pulled from a rental vehicle, handcuffed and questioned by police during an undercover prostitution investigation in Ohio.
Body-camera footage released Wednesday shows San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York being arrested during an undercover prostitution investigation in Ohio. The New York Post initially published the video. York, wearing casual clothing, appears surprised as police approach his rental vehicle at a mobile home park in East Palestine, Ohio.
He asks officers what they are doing, and one inquires if he is meeting anyone. York responds that he is merely driving. Police arrested him after finding a fictitious lot number at the mobile home park and learning he agreed to pay for sexual activity over two days. York initially faced misdemeanor charges of prostitution and possessing criminal tools, which were amended to disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools.
He pleaded no contest and was sentenced to one day in jail, fined $1,150, and had his cellphone returned. The $160 seized from York was forfeited to the human trafficking task force. His cellphone and two phones found in the vehicle were returned. York has not publicly commented on the arrest, and the 49ers declined to provide further statements, stating it is a legal matter.
The NFL is reviewing the incident under its personal conduct policy, but no league discipline has been announced.
