Hit and run driver who allegedly killed Nicki Minaj’s father turns himself to the police

It’s been reported that the uber driver who allegedly killed Robert Maraj, Nicki Minaj’s father has been arrested after he turned himself to the police.

Last Friday, 12 January, Robert Maraj, 64, was hit by a car that kept going in Mineola, Long Island at 6:15 p.m. According to a spokesperson for the Nassau County Police Department, he was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead on Saturday.

On Wednesday, February. 17, Nassau County Police announced in a press conference where that Charles Polevich has been arrested.

38years old Nicki is yet to make any announcement or statement concerning her father’s death.

In 2010, the rapper described her father as violent towards her mother, telling Rolling Stone that he once set fire to their home with her mother inside.

“I remember when my mother would let my father be violent with her and she always brings up this story about when I was a little girl and I would stand in front of my mother,” the singer had said in her 2018 documentary queen.

“That’s why maybe some people would describe me as abrasive or bitchy or whatever because I vowed from that age no man would ever abuse me, call me out my name, treat me like that. Then all of a sudden, that was my life.”

Currently, E! News has confirmed that the man’s bail is set to $250,000. Polevich was also ordered to surrender his passport, his driver’s license has been suspended and he’s to remain in New York for the duration of the case. His next court date is set for Feb. 19.
