Puka Nacua’s Brother Arrested in Alleged SUV Incident Linked to Lakers Rookie
There’s been an unexpected off-field story making waves, and it involves a familiar NFL last name showing up in a very different context. Over the weekend, Samson Nacua, who happens to be the brother of Los Angeles Rams star wide receiver Puka Nacua, was arrested in Southern California following an alleged incident involving a vehicle belonging to a Los Angeles Lakers player.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, deputies were called to the One Hotel in West Hollywood after an SUV registered to Lakers forward Adou Thiero was tracked to that location. The vehicle had reportedly been taken without Thiero’s consent, though law enforcement has said it remains unclear exactly where or when the SUV was initially taken. What is known is that the vehicle ended up at the hotel, where it was allegedly valeted before the suspects entered the property.

Security footage was reviewed by deputies, and that review reportedly played a key role in identifying the individuals involved. Not long after, two men were located and taken into custody. They were identified as 27-year-old Samson Nacua and 27-year-old Trey Rose. Both were arrested on suspicion of taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent, a charge that carries serious legal consequences even when no violence is alleged.
As of the latest update, both men remain behind bars, and it has not been made clear whether either suspect has retained legal representation. Authorities have also emphasized that some details are still being sorted out, including the precise circumstances surrounding how the SUV was taken in the first place. For now, the investigation appears to be ongoing.
The arrest has naturally drawn attention because of the high-profile connections on both sides. Samson Nacua has his own football background, having played college ball at Utah and BYU before spending time in professional spring leagues. Still, much of the spotlight has fallen on his relationship to Puka Nacua, who has quickly become one of the NFL’s breakout stars with the Rams. Meanwhile, Adou Thiero is in his rookie season with the Lakers, making the situation even more unusual as it ties together figures from both the NFL and NBA worlds.
For the Nacua family, it’s an uncomfortable headline during a season when Puka has otherwise been making news for his on-field performances. As this case moves forward, more details are expected to emerge, but for now, it stands as a reminder of how quickly personal matters can collide with public life, especially when well-known sports names are involved.
