York, who has an estimated net worth of around $500 million, was accused of paying $140 for sex at the trailer park in East Palestine.
The bodycam footage from the East Palestine Police Department was obtained by TMZ on Wednesday. The footage shows an officer approach York’s car, asking for his hands and telling him, “Don’t move.” York, wearing a gray New York Yankees t-shirt and shorts, held out his wallet, but the officer immediately unbuckled the NFL team owner and detained him.
“Can I ask what you’re doing?” York asked.
“What are you doing here?” the officer replied.
“Just driving,” York said.
“You meeting anybody?” the Ohio police officer pressed.
“No.”
York informed officers that he was driving a rental car. He is originally from Youngstown, Ohio, which is just over 20 miles north of East Palestine.
After York was placed in a cruiser, one of the officers commented on the large amount of cash that they found in his wallet.
“He’s a real estate guy. He’s got all the money,” the other officer said, adding, “It’s crazy the people that do this. Like, they could do whatever they want. Like, they could do other things. They could go other ways, but wow.”
York was nabbed after an undercover officer posted an ad posing as a woman on a “known prostitution website,” according to an incident report, ESPN reported. York allegedly contacted the undercover officer twice last Saturday, and reached out a third time on Sunday after his he didn’t get a response to the first two messages. After the third message from York, the undercover officer offered to meet York in East Palestine, according to the incident report.
York was initially charged with engaging in prostitution and possession of criminal tools before he accepted a plea deal that changed the prostitution charge to a disorderly conduct charge. York was absent from the NFL team owners’ meeting on Wednesday, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league was reviewing the incident.
The 49ers owner filed for divorce in May of this year after a nearly 15 year marriage with his wife Danielle. The couple share two children.
York’s connection to the 49ers goes back generations as his grandfather owned the franchise for 23 years before passing ownership onto York’s parents, who in turn, passed the torch to York. The wealthy businessman is also a co-owner of Premier League club Leeds United and Scottish Premiership club Rangers.
