49ers Owner Jed York Pleads No Contest to 2 Charges
Jed York, the principal owner of the San Francisco 49ers, was arrested Sunday in East Palestine, Ohio. He pleaded no contest Monday to two misdemeanor charges and was released.
- $5,000 bond was posted before York appeared in court Monday morning.
- $1,150 in total fines were ordered — $150 for disorderly conduct, $1,000 for possessing criminal tools.
- $160 seized from York was forfeited to the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force.
- York was arrested at 9:35 a.m. Sunday at a mobile home park near the Pennsylvania border.
Why it matters: The Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force assisted East Palestine police with the arrest, a detail that expands the case beyond a routine misdemeanor.
- York became the 49ers' official principal owner in 2024 after purchasing additional equity from his mother, Denise DeBartolo York.
