Summary

Jed York, co-owner of Leeds United and Rangers, was arrested in Ohio over the weekend and pleaded no contest to misdemeanour charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools.

As part of a plea agreement, he will donate $160 to the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force and completed an online course.
