Jackie Chan’s Son Arrested in Beijing on drug Charges. Brings Disgrace to the Chan name!
Monday, it was announced that Jackie Chan’s son, Jacyee Chan was arrested in a drug bust. The 31 year old was arrested by Beijing police and was taken into custody along with his friend and fellow actor, 23 year old Kai Ko Chen-tung.
The two were subjected to urine tests that were positive for marijuana which prompted a confession from both actors. Authorities also recovered over 100 grams from the young Chan’s residence.
Chan is charged with “providing a shelter for others to abuse drugs”. This carries a maximum penalty of three years. His friend Ko basically got hit with a “Use” charge that carries just 15 days.

This is part of Beijing initiative to crack down on drug use amongst celebrities. If this was Hollywood weed, would not even be considered a drug. There would not be enough cops to even began arresting.
This has to be devastating and embarrassing for Jackie Chan. Although it’s just weed, Jackie Chan was pointed as an anti-drug ambassador by China’s National Narcotics Control Commission in 2009.
There has been a publicized rift between Jackie Chan and his son. There were rumors that the elder Chan did not want to work with his son on any films. Finally he gave in and Jackie Chan’s 100Th film featured Jacyee. This was Chan’s worse reviewed and worse performing movie to date.
Jacyee’s lifestyle of fast money and fast cars have always been an issue for Jackie. In fact it frustrated Jackie so much, during an awards ceremony in Beijing, Jackie announced that Jacyee would be getting none of his money and that he would be donating all to charity when he died.
