The man is accused of manslaughter and attempted to destroy evidence. Polevich reportedly hid his vehicle on purpose right after the accident. He also did not report his act to the police immediately, but reported to the police only five days after the incident.
In addition to the one-year prison sentence, the man loses his driver’s license for six months, and has to pay a fine of 5,000 dollars.
Minaj has reportedly not commented on Polevich’s sentence publicly, but has previously said that her father’s passing was the most shocking loss of her entire life.
