Puka Nacua’s brother, Samson Nacua, was arrested for allegedly taking the SUV belonging to Los Angeles Lakers forward Adou Thiero without his consent, according to NBC Los Angeles. Another man, Trey Rose, was also arrested, and like Nacua, faces a charge of taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent.
The car was tracked to the One Hotel in West Hollywood where deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department found it. Nacua and Rose valeted the car and went into the hotel, and both suspects were arrested soon after being identified on security footage.
