Former Queens of the Stone Age and current Kyuss Lives! bassist Nick Oliveri got into an intense standoff with a S.W.A.T. team at his L.A. home last night, where police found a high-powered loaded rifle, reports TMZ.

Police were called to the home after a neighbor called 911 to report a “disturbance” between Oliveri and his girlfriend.

The girlfriend reportedly told police that he struck her during an argument the day prior, and came to the house to collect her stuff so she could move out.
