San Francisco 49ers 49ers owner Jed York pleaded no contest to criminal charges Monday after being arrested on suspicion of engaging in prostitution in Ohio over the weekend, according to court records.
York pleaded no contest to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools during a court appearance Monday morning. An administrative judge found him guilty following the plea and ordered him to pay just under $1,300 in fines and court costs.
York was arrested by East Palestine police and booked into the Columbiana County Jail just after 10:40 a.m. Sunday, according to a jail official who spoke with NBC Bay Area.
The jail official said York was originally booked on suspicion of engaging in prostitution and possessing criminal tools. The criminal tool in question was a cellphone, according to the official.
York posted $5,000 bail and was released before 5 p.m. Sunday, according to the jail official.
As part of Monday’s court proceedings, the judge ordered York’s cellphone returned to him. However, $160 in cash seized by police will be forfeited to the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force, according to court records.
NBC Bay Area reached out to the 49ers organization for comment but has not received a response.
