The entirety of San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York’s arrest video is humiliating, but some of the cringe-inducing aspects of the video stand out more than others.
Here are the five most embarrassing parts of the 45-year-old’s August 23 run-in with cops at a trailer park in East Palestine, Ohio.
5. LYING ABOUT PROFESSION
York made no mention of his ties to the Niners as he was being thrown in handcuffs for allegedly engaging in prostitution, but he did apparently tell cops he had a unique profession.
During the video, a cop appeared to say York told him that he was “a real estate guy.”
4. WAD OF CASH
After York was placed into the back of a squad car, two law enforcement members went through his rented Volkswagen SUV.
They discovered York had hundreds of dollars of cash in the ride — all in $20 bills.
There was so much money, one cop said at the scene, “He’s got a s—t ton of cash.”
Another officer wondered why York was in the position given all of his apparent funds.
“It’s crazy the people that do this,” the cop said. “They could do whatever they want. They could do other things. They could go other ways. It’s wild.”
3. STUNNED LOOK ON HIS FACE
If York’s mug shot doesn’t live in infamy following his arrest, the image of his face when he was being yanked out of his car by police certainly will.
York looked bewildered as a cop unbuckled him from his seat and moved him to the side of the car.
Moments later, York was heard feebly asking cops, “Can I ask what you’re doing?”
2. YANKEES SHIRT
York’s outfit — which included basketball shorts and running shoes — was not exactly the most flattering, but the New York Yankees T-shirt he was donning will certainly grab its share of headlines.
It seemed to be a bit small, and as the owner of the Bay Area’s NFL team, it will no doubt upset plenty of San Francisco Giants fans.
1. WEDDING RING
Despite filing for divorce from his wife, Danielle Belluomini, in May, York was nonetheless still wearing a wedding ring.
Throughout the arrest video, the black band on his left ring finger was apparent, even though he wrote in his divorce filing that he and Belluomini — who wed in June 2011 — had sustained “irreconcilable differences.”
