Following last month's dramatic arrest, former Queens of the Stone Age and current Kyuss Lives bassist Nick Oliveri is facing a potential 15 years in prison, after the musician was formally charged with drug and firearm offences recently.
Killyourstereo reported last month the arrest of Oliveri in his Los Angeles home following a call regarding an alleged domestic violence situation.
As NME now reports:
"Oliveri has been charged after an incident on July 12 when police were called to his apartment by his girlfriend after she reported he was refusing to let her leave the property. Oliveri's girlfriend also told police that he had struck her repeatedly during a heated argument the previous day."
Consequently, the noted musician has now officially been charged with "two counts of possession of a controlled substance with a firearm, two counts of possession of a controlled substance, and one misdemeanor (sic) count of resisting, obstructing or delaying a peace officer."
