Brother of Puka Nacua, a former UFL football player arrested for theft of NBA players vehicle
Two men — one of them the brother of Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua — were arrested over the weekend in connection with the alleged unauthorized use of an SUV belonging to Los Angeles Lakers forward Adou Thiero, authorities said.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, deputies were dispatched to the 1 Hotel in West Hollywood after the vehicle was tracked to the location. Investigators claim the suspects had valet-parked the SUV and entered the hotel.
While reviewing hotel security footage, deputies were able to identify the individuals involved and later located them nearby. Both were taken into custody on suspicion of taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent.
Law enforcement officials said it remains unclear where or when the SUV was initially taken.
The suspects were identified as 27-year-old Trey Rose and 27-year-old Samson Nacua, the brother of Rams star Puka Nacua. Both men were booked on charges of taking a vehicle without consent and remain in custody.
