It bills itself as a “quiet” place to live.

But Wheat Hill Mobile Home Community in East Palestine, Ohio, was thrust into the spotlight Monday when San Francisco owner Jed York was arrested there.

The high-flying NFL franchise boss allegedly organized to pay $140 for a sex worker, but it turned out to be an undercover police sting, The Post revealed.

The owner of Wheat Hill said later Monday morning the 46-year-old had not been planning to meet the woman at the park but had just pulled into the site when he was snared by cops.

According to the community’s Facebook page, the chief of police for East Palestine said it was purely a coincidence.

It said: “I just got off the phone with the Chief of Police for East Palestine, Chief Weingart. According to the chief, Jed York was arrested in the park because that’s where he happened to pull over.

“They were not using addresses in the park as part of their sting operation.

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

The 42-lot mobile-home community sits at 5064 State Route 170 in East Palestine, a sleepy town near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border.

Its website describes Wheat Hill as an “all-ages community” where a school bus stops at the entrance, the village provides water and sewer service, and the roads are plowed and salted during the winter.

“Wheat Hill Mobile Home Community is a clean, quiet, and affordable place to call home. This is not the type of place that Jerry Springer would ever find people to be on his show,” the community’s website says.

Its Facebook page similarly presents Wheat Hill as a conventional residential park under new ownership.

“The Wheat Hill Mobile home park is now under new management! CMC REI LLC is a West Virginia based company dedicated to owning and operating great mobile home parks. We are a small company that cares about our tenants and the parks they live in,” its description says.

The Post has reached out to management for further comment.

Photos and posts from the community depict residents preparing for Halloween and other ordinary neighborhood activities, while announcements cover the sort of day-to-day matters expected in a mobile-home community — including trash and transportation-related permits.

But that all changed when York was arrest, turning the site into the center of a national scandal that is plaguing one of America’s biggest sports teams.

York was initially arrested on suspicion of engaging in prostitution in the area, but prosecutors amended that charge to misdemeanor disorderly conduct.

He also pleaded no contest to possessing criminal tools — reportedly referring to the cellphone used to arrange the encounter.

A judge sentenced York to one day in jail on each count, with the sentences running concurrently, and fined him a total of $1,150. He had posted $5,000 bond following his arrest.

The bizarre scene unfolded in a community that has little apparent connection to the glitzy world of NFL ownership.

Public records show Wheat Hills LLC purchased the property in 2012, with the trailer park later valued at nearly $300,000, according to records reviewed by the California Post.

Today, the property is associated with CMC REI LLC, a West Virginia-based company that says it specializes in owning and operating mobile-home communities.

East Palestine has a population of roughly 4,600 people and a median household income well below the national median. The town and surrounding Columbiana County are predominantly working-class.

The small Columbiana County community became synonymous with the February 2023 Norfolk Southern train derailment, which prompted a controversial controlled burn of hazardous chemicals and sparked years of environmental and economic concerns.

York was born and raised in nearby Youngstown, roughly 20 miles north of East Palestine. His grandfather, Edward J. DeBartolo Sr., built the family’s fortune through the Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation, which became one of the nation’s largest shopping-mall developers.

York became CEO of the 49ers in 2008 and later became the team’s principal owner.

His arrest came just weeks before the NFL season begins. The 49ers won five Super Bowl championships between 1981 and 1994.

The league has said it is reviewing the matter under its personal conduct policy.
