Samson Nacua thought SUV he was accused of stealing belonged to brother Puka, LASD says
"It turns out the NFL star happens to own an SUV of the same model and color as Thiero's, only a year or two older, according to the LASD representative. Nacua and Rose thought they were picking up Puka Nacua's vehicle from a valet parking location in Beverly Hills but ended up with Thiero's SUV instead. The LASD representative called it a case of "mistaken vehicle identity, basically." Thiero does not want to press charges, according to the LASD representative."
"Nacua played four years of college football at Utah and one at Brigham Young. A receiver like his brother, Nacua now plays for the United Football League, spending the last two seasons with the now-defunct Michigan Panthers. In April, Nacua received a one-game suspension without pay after video showed him slapping a fan at a game. He was selected by the Birmingham Stallions in this week's UFL draft, which included all players who were on active rosters last season."
Samson Nacua and another man, Trey Rose, were arrested after allegedly taking an SUV belonging to Lakers rookie Adou Thiero. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department determined the pair believed they were retrieving Rams receiver Puka Nacua's similarly modeled and colored vehicle from a Beverly Hills valet and asked the county district attorney not to press charges. Thiero does not want to press charges. Samson Nacua played at Utah and BYU, spent two seasons with the Michigan Panthers in the UFL, received a one-game suspension for slapping a fan, and was selected by the Birmingham Stallions in the recent UFL draft.
