The last year appears to have been a challenging one for the former child star, as she had a few run-ins with the law, including one for a drug-related issue.

Court records indicate she had been arrested at least three times in the year 2025, among which was in April when she was arrested in Napa County for possession of a controlled substance and being under the influence, as well as obstructing a peace officer.

Again in May, she was detained in Santa Cruz, and then in June, when she was charged with misdemeanor domestic battery following an argument at a resort that authorities say was fueled by substance use.

According to the Daily Mail, Victoria got physical with her husband, Navek Ceja, due to her alleged use of drugs in the months leading up to her death.

The vineyard owner told the Police Department in April last year that she'd been taking the substance for 48 hours when they were called to his family's prestigious winery, Ceja Vineyards, at the time.

Cops arrived to meet an incoherent Victoria who was talking fast, and "was fighting with her body movements." She also had dried blood on one nostril, and she told the cops that the 911 call had been a "mistake."

They also found a "white residue" on her tongue and discovered a small plastic bag containing white powder in her coat. She was then arrested and charged with being under the influence of drugs, resisting arrest, and possessing a controlled substance.

Two months after that, she and Ceja got physical at the luxury Carneros Resort and Spa in Sonoma, because he allegedly confronted her over her drug use.

Charging documents show the Ceja, 44, with a reddened face as Victoria allegedly slapped him twice across his face. It was then that she was handed a single count of misdemeanor domestic violence.

The cases were still pending at the time of her death, as she was expected to appear in court on January 20 for the domestic violence count.

A source told the news outlet that Victoria was a "notorious boozer known to be easy with her fists" around North Beach and San Francisco.

"She spent a lot of time palling around, getting drunk in all sorts of confrontations at bars and restaurants," the insider said. "A lot of people say she just got into drunken fights, commotions over the course of time there."
