Billionaire NFL team owner arrested at trailer park after arranging to pay prostitute $140, cops say

A prostitution sting in Ohio nabbed the owner of the San Francisco 49ers, whose family is worth billions of dollars, according to police.

46-year-old Jed York was arrested at about 9:30 a.m. on Sunday morning at the Wheat Hill Mobile Home Community in East Palestine.

York agreed to donate the $160 confiscated during the arrest to the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force.

Police say York responded to a known prostitution website in Columbiana County, Ohio, and ordered up a prostitute for $140, according to the New York Post.

While on the way to meet what he believed to be a prostitute for a sexual tryst, York was instead arrested by an agent from the Mahoning Valley Human trafficking Task Force.

A representative for the trailer park said in a statement on Facebook that York was pulled over at the business, but that the trailer park was not part of the prostitution sting.

"This news of this arrest in our quiet community is just as shocking to us, as to the rest of you," the trailer park manager added. "While we support law enforcement in their efforts. We really have no other knowledge of the situation."

York was initially arrested on charges of engaging in prostitution as well as possession of criminal tools, but the prostitution charge was reduced to disorderly conduct.

He was ordered to pay a fine of $1,150 and to serve two days in jail after pleading no contest.

York also agreed to donate the $160 confiscated during the arrest to the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force.

A spokesperson for the NFL told Forbes only that the league was "aware of the matter, which will be reviewed under the personal conduct policy."

The 49ers told Forbes the incident was a "legal matter" that was resolved and the team would not be providing any further comment.

The York family is believed to be worth about $8.5 billion, primarily from the valuation of the team.

Jed York is originally from Youngstown, Ohio. He is married to Danielle Belluomini and has two sons with her.
