Tragic Victoria Jones was married to a wealthy Napa vineyard owner – who fought with her over her drug use in the months leading up to her suspected overdose death, the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal.
The 34-year-old daughter of Hollywood superstar Tommy Lee Jones, 79, was found dead at the swank Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco in the early hours of New Year’s Day.
San Francisco Fire Department audio obtained by the Daily Mail shows the call out was logged as a code three – ‘overdose, color change’.
Now the Daily Mail can disclose that Jones had a lengthy history of drug abuse and was arrested by the Napa Police Department in April following a two-day cocaine binge.
Husband Navek Ceja, 44, told them that his wife had been taking the drug for 48 hours when they were called to his family’s prestigious winery, Ceja Vineyards in Napa, just past midnight late last April.
According to the report, police were dispatched after being told of a woman in distress. They arrived at the ‘ultra-premium’ winery to discover an incoherent Jones who told them the 911 call had been a ‘mistake’.
Police said Jones was talking rapidly, ‘was fighting with her body movements’ and had dried blood on one nostril.
She also had a ‘white residue’ on her tongue and admitted to using the drug but fought with cops when they arrested her.
After being booked into the Napa County Jail, a small plastic baggie containing white powder was found in her coat and she was later charged with being under the influence of drugs, resisting arrest and possessing a controlled substance.
Two months later, Jones was collared again – this time over a fight she and Ceja had at the upscale Carneros Resort and Spa in Sonoma, where rooms start at $935-a-night.
Charging documents obtained by the Daily Mail show she and Ceja had come to blows over her continued drug use and boozing, with the 44-year-old left with a reddened face after an enraged Jones allegedly slapped his face twice.
Jones was arrested again after the incident and carted off to the Napa County Jail where she was slapped with a single charge of misdemeanor domestic violence.
A mugshot taken after the fight, and exclusively obtained by the Daily Mail, shows Jones looking shame-faced and with a small mark visible underneath her eye.
Both cases were still pending at the time of her death, with Jones due back in court on the domestic violence count on January 20.
Navek Ceja has not responded to the Daily Mail’s request for comment.
Law enforcement sources told the Daily Mail that Jones was staying at the Fairmont for at least three days before she was found unresponsive and later died at the scene.
The insider said Jones’ family called cops multiple times when they did not hear back from the 34-year-old for days.
One of the 'well-being' checks requested by her family last year was because of her suspected drug use, the source said.
In San Francisco too, she had a reputation for heavy drinking – with one local telling the Daily Mail she was a ‘notorious boozer known to be easy with her fists’.
She had a reputation in North Beach,’ said the source, who did not want to be named.
’She spent a lot of time palling around getting drunk in all sorts of confrontations at bars and restaurants.
'A lot of people say she just got into drunken fights, commotions over the course of time there.'
North Beach is a historic Italian neighborhood a short distance from the Fairmont Hotel, where she was found unresponsive on the 14th floor.
The San Francisco Police Department is asking anyone with information about Victoria's untimely death to contact the department.
'On 1/1/26 at approximately 3:14am, San Francisco Police officers responded to a hotel located on the 900 block of Mason Street regarding a report of a deceased person,' a spokesperson said.
'At the scene, officers met with medics, who declared the adult female deceased. The Medical Examiner arrived on scene and conducted an investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the SFPD at 415-575-4444 or Text a Tip to TIP411 and begin the message with SFPD.'
