Jackie Chan son Jaycee Chan arrested in China for drugs; Taiwan actor Kai Ko also busted
- 9 years ago
Hong Kong kung-fu mega star Jackie Chan’s (成龍) only son, 32-year-old Jaycee Chan (房祖名), was arrested last Thursday (August 14) alongside his friend, 23-year-old Taiwanese actor Kai Ko (柯震東), during a drug bust in the elder Chan’s luxury apartment in Beijing. The younger Chan faces up to three to four years in prison.
Rumors of their arrest first surfaced on the internet on August 17, after a Chinese netizen who goes by the handle Xu Hang (徐航) published a post on Chinese microblog Weibo saying, “Kai Ko was arrested over drug use, my dad interrogated him all night yesterday, just wait and see it in the news.” Soon after, netizens were saying that Jaycee Chan had been arrested with Ko. The families and agents of the two movie stars could not reach the pair for several days, until they were contacted by Beijing authorities today.
Beijing authorities confirmed that Chan and Ko had been detained, and said both showed positive results in a urine test for marijuana. The police also released footage of their interrogations as well as of their arrest. The footage also shows a teary Ko apologizing to his fans, saying he was “a bad influence, and teaches young people in society the wrong set of values.”
Ko faces 14 days of detention for marijuana use. Chan faces a possibly much harsher sentence, as the marijuana was found in his house, which makes him guilty of “providing a shelter for others to use drugs,” an offense that could put him behind bars for three to four years.
