EAST PALESTINE (WKBN) -- San Francisco 49ers owner John "Jed" York was arrested in the Valley over the weekend and found guilty of two misdemeanor charges.
York pleaded no contest Monday morning to misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools. He was arrested Sunday in East Palestine and posted $5,000 bond.
WKBN requested a police report, which states only: "On August 23, 2026, the East Palestine Police Department assisted the MVHTTF on the arrest of John York."
The police report lists the time and location of the arrest as 9: 35 a.m. at Wheat Hill Mobile Home Community off state Route 170.
The release from East Palestine police states all further information must come from the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force. WKBN reached out to the task force for further information and is awaiting a response.
Court records show York was sentenced to two days in the Columbiana County Jail -- to be served concurrently -- with credit for a day served. He was also ordered to pay $1,150 in fines.
Court orders show a cell phone was ordered returned to York and $160 seized shall be forfeited to the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force as part of the agreement.
York is a Cardinal Mooney grad, and became team president back in 2008.
WKBN has reached out to York's attorney and the team for comment but has yet to hear back.
