Cobb County fire spokeswoman Denell Boyd says a fire was reported early Sunday morning in Acworth, at the home of former Atlanta Braves outfielder Otis Nixon.
Acworth Police Chief Wayne Dennard says Nixon's neighbor, 34-year-old Lamine Diaw, was arrested and will be charged with arson. It's unclear if he has an attorney.
Authorities say the fire stemmed from a dispute between Diaw and a man who lived at the house. Officials say Nixon's son and others lived in the home.
Nixon played for several teams including the Atlanta Braves, between 1983 and 1999.
