49ers owner Jed York pleads no contest to Ohio misdemeanor charges
Jed York, the owner of the San Francisco 49ers, entered a no-contest plea to two Ohio misdemeanors and received a brief jail sentence and fines.
York was arrested in Ohio and faced charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools. He pleaded no contest on Monday, resulting in a two-day jail term with credit for one day served and a $1,150 fine. A previously listed prostitution charge was reduced to disorderly conduct. The case may trigger discipline under the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy, raising questions about how owners are treated compared with players.
Why it matters
The incident could set a precedent for how NFL owners are disciplined for legal troubles.
