Jed York, principal owner of the San Francisco 49ers, was arrested over the weekend in a prostitution-related incident in East Palestine, Ohio. After pleading no contest to charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools, he posted a $5,000 bond and is currently awaiting potential disciplinary action from the NFL under its personal conduct policy. The league’s spokesman confirmed the matter will be reviewed.
