Jed York, principal owner of the San Francisco 49ers and co-owner of Leeds United, was arrested on August 24, 2026, in East Palestine, Ohio, on two misdemeanor charges: disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools. He pleaded no contest to both charges on August 25. The disorderly conduct charge was originally listed as engaging in prostitution before being changed. York was fined $150 for disorderly conduct and $1,000 for possessing criminal tools, and sentenced to two days in jail. He was released on an Own Recognisance bond. Court records also ordered $160 seized to be forfeited to the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force. The article details York's background as a businessman, his ownership stake in Leeds United (over 10% via 49ers Enterprises), and his limited but notable involvement at Leeds matches. The NFL stated it is reviewing the matter under its personal conduct policy. York is also in the process of divorcing his wife of over 15 years.
