The son of internationally known actor Jackie Chan was arrested on Thursday after being caught with drugs by Beijing police.

Jaycee Chan, 31, was arrested along with 23-year-old Taiwanese star Kai Ko. According to police both actors tested positive for marijuana and admitted using the drug. It still remains unclear as to why the announcements of the arrest were delayed.

Police also searched the apartment of Jaycee in Beijing and found several stashed bags of marijuana after receiving a tip-off from the public. Sources say more than 100 grams of marijuana were confiscated.

Chan is accused of accommodating drug users, an offense that carries a maximum sentence of three years in prison.
