Nick Oliveri faces 15 years in prison

After being arrested last month at his LA home following a two-hour standoff with police and a SWAT team, current Kyuss/former QOTSA bassist Nick Oliveri has been charged with several counts that could land him up to 15 years in prison.
According to TMZ, last July the police were called over a 'domestic disturbance' between Oliveri and his girlfriend at his home. A standoff ensued after he apparently wouldn't allow her to leave. Two hours later, when the police finally entered his home, they allegedly found a fully-loaded rifle, cocaine and methamphetamines.
Oliveri has been charged with one misdemeanor count of resisting, obstructing or delaying a police officer, two counts of possession of a controlled substance with a firearm, and two counts of possession of a controlled substance. If convicted on all counts, he could face a maximum of 15 years.
