Tommy Lee Jones’ late daughter Victoria Jones had a history of legal trouble.
Victoria, who died at age 34 on Thursday, Jan. 1, was arrested at least two times in the past year, according to court dockets reviewed by PEOPLE.
One of those arrests was for drug possession.
On April 28, 2025, Jones was taken into custody in California’s Napa County and charged with three misdemeanors: Obstructing a peace officer, being under the influence of a controlled substance without a valid prescription, and possession of a controlled substance without a valid prescription. She pleaded not guilty.
Nearly two months after her May arrest, Victoria was detained again on June 17 in Napa County and charged with misdemeanor domestic battery. She entered a not guilty plea on July 1.

No cause of death has been released for Victoria, who was found unresponsive in a hallway at San Francisco’s Fairmont Hotel and declared dead after paramedics arrived. But the call for the incident came in as “code 3 for the overdose, color change,” according to audio of the dispatch reviewed by PEOPLE.
NBC Bay Area reported that foul play is not suspected.
Victoria, the daughter of the Men in Black star and his ex-wife, Kimberlea Cloughley, had some small roles in her father’s movies, including 2002’s Men in Black II and 2005’s The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. She also appeared in one episode of the 2003-12 drama One Tree Hill in 2005. According to her IMDB profile, Victoria’s last screen credit was in 2014’s The Horseman, directed by her father.

In a 2006 New Yorker profile, Jones opened up about the joys and challenges of working with his then-teenage daughter on The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.
“She’s a good actress, has her SAG card, speaks impeccable Spanish,” he told the outlet. “When she was a baby, I told Leticia, her nurse, to speak to her in Spanish."
But he added that her work ethic was lacking. “She had to get up at 5 a.m. for her part,” he said. “One morning, she wouldn’t get out of bed. I said, ‘Honey, this is work.’ But she wouldn’t budge. So I fired her.”
“Then, without telling me, the production staff went over and woke her and rushed her out to the set just in time,” he added.
