The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has acknowledged a mistake after arresting Samson Nacua, brother of football star Puka Nacua, on suspicion of vehicle theft. Authorities now say Samson believed he was taking his brother's sport utility vehicle, which closely resembles the one owned by basketball player Adou Thiero, leading to the confusion. Both Thiero and deputies have confirmed the incident was an honest mistake, and prosecutors have been asked to reject charges against Samson and his friend. The news comes amid a challenging week for Puka Nacua, who has faced both league fines and controversy, as he prepares for a crucial playoff game.
