The son of actor Jackie Chan has been sentenced to six months in jail after pleading guilty in a Beijing court to providing a venue for drug users.
Police seized more than 100 grams of marijuana during an August raid at Jaycee Chan's Beijing home. Both Chan and Taiwanese movie star Ko Kai tested positive for the drug, it was reported. 
His imprisonment comes amid a major crackdown on illegal drugs in China, and is particularly embarrassing for his movie star father, who in 2009 was named an anti-drug ambassador.
