August, the police raided Jaycee’s home. Believe it or not, they found more than a hundred gram of Marijuana. He will face a maximum of three years for being caught possessing illegal drugs.

Chan, 32, was with Kai Ko, 23, a Taiwanese movie star, in his home. They were believed to be involved with illegal drugs. However, two weeks after their arrest, Ko was released. The movie star was charged for drug use and was sentenced with a 14-day administrative detention.
