SON OF JACKIE CHAN ARRESTED IN CHINA

Jaycee Chan , the son of action film star Jackie
Chan , has been jailed for six months for a drug
offence .
Chan , 32 , pleaded guilty in Beijing 's Dongcheng
District Court to "sheltering others to use drugs".
Police raided his home in August and found
more than 100g of marijuana. He faced a
maximum sentence of three years .
His arrest came amid a drug use crackdown in
China which saw several celebrities arrested . In
June 2014, President Xi Jinping ordered police to
use strong measures to stop drug use .
This confession from the son of one of China 's
most famous actors underlines a key message
from the Chinese government : no- one is immune
from China' s crackdown on illegal drugs, reports
the BBC ' s Celia Hatton in Beijing .
' Ashamed'
Chan and Taiwanese movie star Kai Ko , 23 , were
both detained at his Beijing home in August ,
with police saying they tested positive for
marijuana. Mr Ko was released after a 14 -day
administrative detention for drug use .
But Jaycee Chan was put under "criminal
detention " for the additional and more serious
crime of "providing a shelter for others to abuse
drugs" , Beijing police said at the time.
He told the court on Friday that when police
came to his house "I just gave them information
and I confessed because I didn' t know how to
deal with the marijuana".
Chan was also fined 2 , 000 yuan ( $ 322; £ 213) ,
reports said .
Jackie Chan , who was named an official
"Narcotics Control Ambassador " by Chinese police
in 2009, has said he felt " ashamed " and "sad "
over his son' s behaviour.
