Arrests

Jed York's recent arrest might be a learning experience for the San Francisco 49ers owner ... and a popular Nevada brothel is willing to teach the billionaire how to pay for sex without breaking the law.

Dena Duff -- the Madam and GM for Sheri's Ranch Brothel in Pahrump -- tells TMZ ... the brothel would like to offer Jed, his fellow NFL owners and players, some lessons on how to legally hire sex workers.

Duff says ... "Nevada's licensed brothels offer something an NFL owner should appreciate: a legal, regulated environment where discretion and privacy are paramount. Sheri's would be happy to host Jed, along with any interested NFL owners and players, for a seminar on how Nevada's legal brothel system works, why discretion is such an important part of the business and, frankly, how to do prostitution correctly."

The U.S. Marshals posted a photo on X showing two of their officers taking the alleged Chucky wannabe into custody after learning that he was reportedly hiding out in an apartment complex in southeast Vegas. The officers conducted surveillance inside the complex to locate Hughes and then moved in to arrest him without incident.

Jed York allegedly arranging to pay a prostitute $140 for sex in a trailer park ended up costing him $1,150 in fines after his arrest ... and it looks like the San Francisco 49ers' Chief Security Officer paid his boss' court fees.

According to online records, someone named "D Cory" paid Jed's fees after he pleaded no contest to a couple of misdemeanors in Ohio.

"D Cory" appears to be Dan Cory ... the CEO of Nickel Group, a security and risk management firm that protects San Francisco 49ers executives and team members. Dan's LinkedIn says he's the Chief Security Officer for the 49ers ... and the team announced last August it was hiring his firm.
