San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York pleaded no contest Monday to two misdemeanor charges after his arrest in East Palestine, Ohio, over the weekend.

Columbiana County court records show that York's initial charge of "engaging in prostitution" was reduced to disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools.

York was ordered to serve one day in jail for each charge to be served concurrently but was given one day of credit for time served. He also paid two fines totaling $1,150.

Court records also showed that "$160 seized shall be forfeited to MVHTFF (Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force)." When reached by USA TODAY Sports, Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force did not have immediately have additional information.

York, who was born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio, has been the 49ers' chief executive officer since 2008. Though he long operated as the organization's de facto owner, he officially became the principal owner in 2024, when he purchased additional equity from his mother, Denise DeBartolo York.

The 49ers have not responded to USA TODAY Sports' request for comment on the arrest.

This story will be updated.
