The brother of LA Rams football superstar Puka Nacua has been arrested for his role in the theft of an SUV belonging to LA Lakers basketball player Adou Thiero.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Samson Nacua, 27, was arrested with Trey Rose, also 27, for allegedly taking Thiero's car without his consent over the weekend.
Cops were called to the One Hotel in West Hollywood after the vehicle was tracked there, per a report from NBC4 Investigates, and it was then found that the suspects had valeted the car and entered the hotel.
Police then reviewed security footage and were able to identify the suspects and arrest them soon after, with both remaining behind bars as of Wednesday evening.
Nacua is the brother of Rams wide receiver Puka, who has become one of the biggest stars in the NFL over the past two seasons.
It has also been a headline-grabbing week for the NFL star himself, after he risked the wrath of league officials for some bizarre comments about referees on a live stream.

Sounds like he's speaking the truth. What did he say?
Nice neighborhood, is it? 🤔
I still root for Matthew, apart from when they're playing the Lions. Looks like they're in the process of imploding, but that's offset by having the Chiefs go down the drain (this is analogous to my reaction when the Pats went down the drain). If the Lions aren't in the playoffs, I'll be rootin' for grandpa Phil to get a ring.
It's nice that Rodgers is doing so well A) at his age (for some reason, dunno why, I like to see old players light it up) and B) not playing for the Packers. It seems as if this season has been in more turmoil than usual, btw.
Puka should have helped out his brother.
The Rams could always use another tackling dummy.
