Jackie Jan's Son in Jail for Drugs

Legendary action and comedy movie star Jackie Chan’s Son in Jail for Drug Charges after Jaycee Chan’s conviction in a Beijing court has him facing six months to three years imprisonment.

Sad news for the well respected Chan family as Jackie Chan’s Son in Jail for Drug Charges following a conviction for possession and pleading guilty to “sheltering others for drug use.” The Beijing Dongcheng District Court in China ruled over the matter after a raid, arrest, drug testing and two week administrative detention. Jaycee Chan is also an action movie star and Chinese celebrity.

“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 behavior.”

The investigation that landed Jackie Chan’s Son in Jail for Drug Charges came complete with a home invasion which found over 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of marijuana in Jaycee Chan’s home. It’s reported that China has recently been “cracking down” it’s law enforcement surrounding drugs, Chan being the latest in a few celebrity nabs.

Jaycee Chan age 32 and friend Taiwanese movie star Kai Ko age 23 were both detained during the raid, which was initially in August. Chan was fined an equivalent of $322 and faces a maximum of three years in prison. In China as it is in many places, providing “shelter for others to abuse drugs” is an even more serious, criminal-crime than sole possession. (Yikes).
