Former MLB outfielder Otis Nixon arrested (The Associated Press)

ATLANTA (AP) -- Jail records show that former Major League Baseball outfielder Otis Nixon was arrested on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and permitting an unlicensed person to drive.

Atlanta police spokesman Officer Kim Jones says 56-year-old Nixon was arrested Tuesday night. Jones did not provide any further details.

Nixon was released from the Fulton County jail Wednesday after posting a $2,500 bond.

Nixon was arrested on drug charges in 2013 following a traffic stop in suburban Atlanta. An officer found a pipe for smoking crack cocaine in Nixon's pants pocket and found suspected crack rock in the driver's seat.
