A Chinese actor was sentenced to 10 months in prison on Wednesday for providing venues for drug use, according to a Beijing court ruling.
Zhang Lin, 39, was found guilty of providing venues for three drug users, including actor Wang Xuebing, between 2010 and January 2015, according to the Chaoyang District People's Court.
Beijing Police arrested him on March 9 after finding methamphetamine and marijuana at his apartment in downtown Beijing.
Zhang, well known for his TV roles, was also fined 2,000 yuan (327 U.S. dollars).
China has detained and sentenced a number of celebrities, including movie and television stars, on drug offenses this year.
