Jaycee Chan, son of kung fu movie star Jackie Chan, will stand trial on Friday on a drugs charge, the latest in a series of minor celebrities accused of narcotics offences.
In a microblog post, the Legal Evening News said the younger Chan, a 32-year-old actor and singer, would be tried at the Dongcheng District Court in Beijing in a case it said would be closely watched by the Chinese people.
He was formally charged last month with “the crime of sheltering others to take drugs” after testing positive for marijuana, with police saying they found 100 grams of the drug at his home.
