Authorities said Kimbler was arrested after a search of a home turned up cocaine, anabolic steroids, a digital scale and drug paraphernalia.

And when Kimbler's car was searched, authorities said they found several plastic bottles containing urine, which they said is associated with efforts to defeat drug tests.

Kimbler was booked into jail. Attorney information wasn't available.

A city spokesperson said Kimbler will have a hearing Monday regarding his employment status.
