49ers Owner Jed York Arrested, Pleads No Contest to Disorderly Conduct

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York was arrested in Ohio and has since pleaded no contest to charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools. The initial arrest was reportedly on suspicion of engaging in prostitution, but that charge was amended. York was sentenced to two days in jail and ordered to pay fines.

This incident brings scrutiny to the ownership of the NFL franchise, which is estimated to be worth billions. York, who became the 49ers' CEO in 2008, also holds a stake in the English football club Leeds United. The legal proceedings and his plea have drawn attention to his business dealings and personal conduct.
