The legendary singer of SAVATAGE John Nicholas “Jon” Oliva was arrested this week on the west central coast of Florida, for driving under the influence as well as possession of a controlled substance.
The Pasco County Jail web site shows the 62-year-old musician was arrested at 3:43 a.m. on Thursday (September 30) and was released on bail less than 24 hours later — at 12:34 a.m. on Friday (October 1). Police charged Oliva with possession of cocaine, which is a felony, and DUI, which is a misdemeanor.
Oliva’s booking photo released by the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office shows him wearing a hospital gown and sporting what appear to be fresh scrapes on his nose and left cheek.
