San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York was arrested in Ohio over the weekend and pleaded no contest Monday to misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools.
Court records show York was initially charged with engaging in prostitution, but prosecutors amended the charge to disorderly conduct. He also was charged with possessing criminal tools after allegedly using his cellphone to respond to an undercover online prostitution advertisement, according to prosecutors.
York was arrested Sunday morning at a mobile home community in East Palestine, Ohio, near Youngstown, where he was born and raised. He was released after posting a $5,000 bond.
York was sentenced to one day in jail on each charge, with the sentences to be served concurrently. He was credited with one day served after entering his no-contest pleas Monday morning. He was also fined $1,150.
As part of the plea agreement, York's cellphone was returned to him, while $160 seized during the investigation was ordered to be given to the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force. York also completed an online course required under the agreement.
