BEIJING -- A singer, made famous by a popular television talent show, was detained in Beijing on Monday night for drug use, the police confirmed on Tuesday.
Beijing police arrested six suspects, including singer Li Daimo, who were taking drugs at Li's temporary home in Sanlitun, Chaoyang District.
Police detained two other suspects at a hotel in Fengtai District.
Urine samples of the eight suspects all tested positive for amphetamines. They admitted their illegal drug use, according to police.
