YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - The son of a Mahoning County Juvenile Court Judge Theresa Dellick will be sentenced in February after pleading guilty to charges filed in connection with a road rage incident, and a confrontation with his former girlfriend.

Twenty-year-old John Dellick pleaded guilty on Monday to one count of aggravated assault and one count of assault.

Last January, the Mahoning County Grand Jury handed up a nine count indictment on charges of assault, ethnic intimidation, aggravated menacing, abduction and kidnapping.

Dellick's father, John Dellick tells 21 News his son has struggled with a number of issues over the years, and a misdiagnosis may have contributed to his son John's current legal troubles.  "This has been a hard process for my son and for my family.  He has struggled with a complicated history of physical, medical, mental health and emotional issues.  We learned that he was misdiagnosed with the treatment he was given, that the treatment he was being given was wrong.  That it probably contributed to the outbursts.  Our doctors indicated that likely a lot of these things would have never occurred had he been properly diagnosed."

Six of the charges in the original indictment stemmed from the October, 2013 arrest of Dellick for what deputies described at the time as a case of road rage. Dellick allegedly rammed his jeep into the back of a car containing Angelo and Anita Gomez after a confrontation at Route 224 and Tippecanoe Road in Canfield. Dellick pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in connection with that incident.

The kidnapping, abduction and assault charges were related to an argument with Dellick's former girlfriend Natalie Noday on July 25, 2013 outside a Canfield pizza shop. Noday told police that Dellick threw her inside his jeep and wouldn't allow her to leave.

She claims Dellick pushed her into the center console of the vehicle, choked her, then pulled her out of the vehicle and threw her head first into the side of another car. Dellick pleaded guilty to one count of assault in connection with that incident.

Dellick is scheduled to be sentenced on February 9.   Dellick could receive a maximum of 18-months in prison, or a minimum of probation.
