(CNN) — A New York man pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of a crash that killed rapper Nicki Minaj’s father and was sentenced to “no more than one year in jail,” prosecutors said. Charles Polevich, 71, also admitted tampering with evidence after the February 2021 crash in Mineola, on Long Island. The official sentencing, scheduled for Aug. 3 before Nassau County Judge Howard Sturim, is expected to include community service and a license suspension in addition to jail time. The Nassau County district attorney, who recommended a sentence of one to three years, expressed disappointment with the sentencing commitment. Polevich is extremely remorseful for any role he may have played in Mr. Maraj’s death.
