Judge frees Dellick to house arrest

YOUNGSTOWN — Visiting Judge Michael Nunner today agreed to allow John Dellick out of the Mahoning County jail on electronically monitored house arrest following a brief hearing in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.

Dellick, 21, the son of Judge Theresa Dellick of Mahoning County Juvenile Court, stipulated to a probation violation Jan. 11 after he turned himself into probation officers Jan. 8 after Boardman police found a gun Jan. 3 in a hotel room he was staying in. Being around a gun is a violation of the probation Dellick received for a guilty plea to a charge of aggravated assault in 2015 for two separate incidents in 2013.

Dellick had been in the jail since he turned himself in.

At his Jan. 11 hearing, his attorney, David Betras, said that Dellick was considering suicide but someone talked him out of it. He said Dellick is under treatment for mental illness.
