Jackie Chan's son Jaycee jailed for drug offence in China

Jaycee Chan, 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 crackdown on drugs in China which has already netted several celebrities.

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.

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.

Chan was also fined 2,000 Yuan.
