Summary
Six games and $500,000: the NFL punished 49ers owner Jed York for violating its Personal Conduct Policy after his Aug. 23 arrest in an Ohio prostitution sting.
Three games already count toward the suspension because York stayed away from the team and league meetings during the investigation, leaving him eligible to return on Oct. 20.
East Palestine police arrested York after he allegedly answered an online prostitution ad and arrived at a trailer park with $160; he later pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools.
York apologized and said he accepted the league's decision, while his court sentence added two days in jail, an anti-prostitution course and $1,150 in fines.
