Beijing , China ( CNN ) The son of kung fu movie star Jackie Chan was convicted on a drug charge and sentenced to six months in prison in a Beijing court on Friday . Jaycee Chan , who pleaded guilty to `` hosting others to take drugs , '' was also fined 2,000 yuan ( $ 320 ) , announced the Dongcheng District People 's Court . Wearing a black sweatshirt and blue pants , the 32-year-old Chan -- who is an actor like his father -- bowed to the judge and prosecutor after the 90-minute trial . `` I committed a crime and deserve to be punished , '' the court 's official microblog quoted him as saying . `` It does n't mean I have received mercy and forgiveness -- I hope to earn them with my future actions . '' Reminding him to `` return to the right path '' and `` establish a healthy public image , '' the prosecutor cited Chan 's cooperation with police as a basis for leniency , according to the court . The Hong Kong native was arrested in Beijing last summer along with a Taiwanese actor , amid a government crackdown on celebrity drug offenders . After both men tested positive for marijuana , police found more than 100 grams of the drug after searching Chan 's apartment . Although he did not attend the trial , Jackie Chan -- who has starred in Hollywood blockbusters like `` Rush Hour '' and was named an anti-drugs ambassador in China in 2009 -- had expressed anger and disappointment in his son in media interviews . `` I failed to discipline him -- now the state is helping me discipline him and make him get rid all the bad habits , '' the elder Chan , 60 , told the state-run Xinhua news agency last month , while denying his son had received special treatment in jail . The younger Chan 's case has put a spotlight on the Chinese capital 's intensifying anti-drugs campaign . By mid-November , the authorities had detained almost 10,000 people for using drugs , nearly double the previous year 's figure . Announcing the numbers , a top anti-narcotics official in Beijing emphasized the government 's `` zero-tolerance '' stance on celebrity offenders due to the impact of their behavior on the youth . Last August , dozens of management agencies representing actors and singers signed an agreement with Beijing authorities , banning drug use from the entertainment industry and pledging to fire any artists who break the law .
