YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - The Youngstown teen that plead guilty to 27 criminal counts including making terroristic threats relating to a swatting incident, will have to repay nearly $13,000 to six police agencies whose resources he wasted. 

David Dorbish of Youngstown who just turned 18-years-old at the beginning of this month, spent exactly one year behind bars in the Mahoning County Juvenile Justice Center.   But because of the seriousness of his crime he was prosecuted as an adult. 

Before he was sentenced Dorbish apologized to the court saying, "Yes your Honor, in the past year I've spent a lot of time on self growth.  I've tried my hardest to mature a lot, and I feel I can be a productive member of society.  I've reflected a lot on what I've done to get here and that's not for me."

Mahoning County Judge John Durkin told Dorbish, "I have candidly struggled with this case in the sense that your conduct put a lot of people at risk.  We all make mistakes, you made some big ones.  I'm glad to hear that you spent this time not only furthering your education, but also hopefully doing some self-analysis about what you want to do later on in your life.  Because you are clearly talented.  Hopefully you will put those talents to good use."

Then it was time to move on to the sentencing.  Judge Durkin accepted the recommendation of Mahoning County Assistant Prosecutor Michael Yacovone and gave Dorbish credit for time served.  He was released  from JJC shortly after his sentencing hearing.  Dorbish is also ordered to serve five years community control or what is commonly known as probation.  The 18-year-old is ordered to get his high school diploma and continue his counseling.  He's also ordered to pay $12,972.40 to cover the cost of manpower for the six police agencies that received the calls and also for the cost of the investigation.

Dorbish entered his guilty plea in January.

Dorbish was accused of making phony emergency calls to draw out first responders in four states, and six cities.

Those calls happened between January and August of 2018.

The case drew national attention after he allegedly made fake 911 calls to police departments in Florida, New Jersey, Wisconsin, and Indiana.

In one call, Dorbish allegedly said that he had shot someone and had taken hostages, according to the Dodge County Wisconsin Sheriff's Office.

FBI officials say false incidents like these can cost thousands of dollars each time a SWAT team is called out.

Nancy Dorbish who sat in the courtroom to support her son says she has witnessed a remarkable change in him over the past year.  She says while the crime and his arrest have been a terrible thing, his transformation into a man taking responsibility for what he's done has been remarkable.

"The transformation in him is almost amazing really.  He might have went in a little boy, but he's definitely come out a man.  We will continue to support him, and just make sure he stays on this journey and lives on the right path that God has for him.  I'm in recovery, so I'm just going to try to lead by example, and make sure that he will be in church every Sunday, and we will keep a closer eye on him for sure," Nancy Dorbish said.
