What happened: York was arrested Sunday in East Palestine, Ohio, on suspicion of engaging in prostitution. Prosecutors amended that charge to disorderly conduct; he also pleaded no contest to possessing criminal tools.

What to watch: Any response or disciplinary action from the NFL or the 49ers bears watching.
