Nixon’s girlfriend contacted the authorities after he missed a tee time, per the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Here’s more of what the AJC reported:

Nixon was last seen leaving his home at 10 a.m. Saturday in a gray 2011 Range Rover with Georgia tag CFP-9010. He was wearing a black long sleeve-shirt, black sweatpants and a black baseball cap, with black Adidas shoes with white stripes. 

Police say there’s no reason to believe foul play is involved, and that they’ve received many tips. 

Nixon hit .270/.343/.314 with 620 stolen bases during his big-league career. He has been in and out of headlines since retiring due to various legal issues, including a 2013 drug charge.
