Alexis Stevens has the details on the latest arrest in the life of troubled former Atlanta Braves outfielder Otis Nixon.

He was arrested early Saturday morning after being pulled over on an interstate north of the city of Atlanta. A 911 caller alerted police to the erratic driving of a truck and Nixon was pulled over. Upon investigation, Cherokee County (GA) police and state troopers found a "rock-like substance" in the cab and a crack pipe in his pocket.

From Stevens:

“Otis admitted to me that the substance was crack cocaine but it didn’t belong to him,” a deputy wrote in the report. “Otis said the crack cocaine and the pipe belonged to his son.”

During a search of the truck, investigators found an additional crack pipe, more suspected crack rocks and a plastic bag containing suspected cocaine residue in the floor board of the driver’s side, the sheriff’s office said.


Nixon remained in the Cherokee County jail Monday, and was being held on $11,880 bond. Nixon has been charged with possession of cocaine and possession of a drug-related object.

The last time Nixon was in the news, he had run afoul of a lot of folks in north Georgia- much to the dismay of Braves fan, I-Team Investigator, and FOSG Randy Travis...
