Jackie Chan’s son, Jaycee Chan, was sentenced to six months in prison following his arrest for marijuana possession and hosting others drug users in August.

Jaycee Chan Sentenced To Six Months In Chinese Jail

Jaycee, 32, was arrested in August, 2014, during a Beijing drug bust and could have faced up to three years in prison for the charges. Jaycee plead guilty to providing a place for others to use drugs and was sentenced to six months in jail and ordered to pay a $320 fine.

Jaycee, who is also a struggling actor, was repentant at trial, and reportedly promised the judge he would never break the law again, saying, “After I return to society, I won’t offend again, because I would disappoint my family and friends once again.”

After Jaycee’s arrest, Chan wrote a blog post apologizing for his son’s actions: “I should also take some of this responsibility because as his dad, I didn’t teach him well. Therefore, on behalf of Jaycee and myself, I extend our deepest apologies to everyone for the negative impact this has caused on society. Thank you.”

Chan has not yet released a comment on his son’s sentencing. Chan is currently gearing up for the release of his next film, Dragon Blade.
