Police In Georgia Looking For One-Time Yankee Otis Nixon, Missing Since Saturday

WOODSTOCK, Ga. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Police in Georgia are looking for one-time Yankees outfielder Otis Nixon, who disappeared over the weekend.

In a Facebook post, the Woodstock Police Department says Nixon, who’s 58, was last seen leaving his home Saturday morning in a gray Range Rover. Police say he was on his way to a local golf course but never arrived.

He was last seen wearing a black long sleeve shirt, black sweatpants, and a black baseball cap, with black Adidas shoes with white stripes.

Nixon has a history of substance abuse, CBS2 reported. He was an outfielder for the Atlanta Braves and in 1991 was suspended for 60 days after testing positive for cocaine.
