JACKIE CHAN'S SON JAILED 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.
