Investigators say Samson Nacua took vehicle by mistake - ESPN

LOS ANGELES — Samson Nacua, the brother of Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua, will not be charged after he was arrested last month for allegedly taking a vehicle without the owner's consent, NBC4 in Los Angeles reported Thursday.

Samson Nacua and another man, Trey Rose, were arrested by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in December after allegedly stealing a car belonging to Lakers forward Adou Thiero.

But Thursday, the LASD told NBC4 that Samson Nacua believed it was Puka's car; he has the same «model and color» as a vehicle owned by Thiero.

According to NBC4, deputies requested that the LA County Attorney's office reject the case and said that Thiero did not want to press charges.

Samson Nacua played college football at Utah and BYU. On Wednesday, he was drafted by the UFL's Birmingham Stallions. Last April, the UFL suspended Nacua for one game for slapping a fan.
