  "account": "San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan addressed the media regarding his team's owner, Jed York, who was arrested on February 8, 2026, in East Palestine, Ohio. The arrest initially stemmed from suspicion of engaging in prostitution, but was later amended to misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools. York pleaded no contest and was sentenced to two days in jail, with credit for one day served, and fined $1,150. The 49ers called the matter a resolved legal issue, with no further comment from either Shanahan or the organization.\n\nShanahan, who has maintained a focus on football during training camp, emphasized that the arrest has not altered the team's operations or the football staff's ability to make decisions. He stated that York has always allowed the football personnel to handle their responsibilities, which has been consistent throughout his tenure. The arrest has not been a topic of discussion in the locker room, as the team has more immediate concerns surrounding the upcoming season.\n\nThe arrest has been a sensitive matter for Shanahan, who has developed a close relationship with York and his family. He expressed respect for both York and his ex-wife, Danielle Belluomini York, and their family's importance to him. The focus for both Shanahan and the 49ers remains on preparing for the regular season, with players and coaches preparing for roster decisions and competing to secure positions.",
