Beijing: Chinese prosecutors have formally indicted the son of Hong Kong action film star Jackie Chan on the charge of sheltering others to use drugs, more than four months after he was first detained.

Prosecutors from Beijing’s Dongcheng District say they indicted Jaycee Chan on Monday. If convicted, the 32-year-old could be jailed for up to three years.

Beijing police detained Chan at his Beijing apartment in August along with Taiwanese movie star Ko Kai. Police said

Chan and Ko tested positive for marijuana and that 100 grams of it were taken from Chan's home.

Ko was released after a 14-day administrative detention, but Chan faces the more serious criminal charge.
