Legendary actor Jackie Chan has
expressed his shock and heartbreak
over the recent arrest of his 31 year
old son, Jaycee Chan, who was
picked up & detained last Thursday
after 100 grams of marijuana was
discovered at his home. Police said
Jaycee and another man found in his
home, Taiwanese movie star Kai Ko,
23, tested positive for marijuana and
admitted using the drug.
Jackie, who was made an anti-drug
ambassador in China in 2009, took to
his website today to express his
sadness over his son's behaviour
and apologized to the public
"Regarding this issue with my son
Jaycee, I feel very angry and very
shocked. As a public figure, I'm very
ashamed. As a father, I'm
heartbroken. Jaycee and I together
express our deep apology to society
and the public' Chan wrote.

"I hope all young people will learn a
lesson from Jaycee and stay far from
the harm of drugs. I say to Jaycee
that you have to accept the
consequences when you do
something wrong. As your father, I'm
going to face the road together with
you.'
Jaycee was also accused of aiding
and abetting other drug users. He
faces up to three years in jail if
found guilty. The Chinese
government started a serious
crackdown on drug users in June
this year and so far over 7,800 drug
users have been arrested.
