THE West Australian police commissioner's son has been sentenced to 16 months' jail over his involvement in a clandestine drug lab explosion.
Russell Joseph O'Callaghan, 30, was sentenced in the Perth District Court after pleading guilty in April to attempting to manufacture the prohibited drug methamphetamine.
O'Callaghan, the son of Police Commissioner Karl O'Callaghan, was arrested and charged following a clandestine drug lab explosion at a Department of Housing unit at Carlisle, in Perth's south, on March 20 in which he and four others suffered burns.
Two children, aged three and four, escaped injury.
O'Callaghan spent more than two weeks in hospital for treatment to burns to his head, shoulders and arms.
Two other men were also charged with similar offences and their cases are still in the Magistrates Court.
n sentencing on Friday, Judge Felicity Davis said she had
considered a suspended prison sentence
but decided against this because the offence was too serious.
O'Callaghan had his sentence reduced by six months after he agreed to give evidence against the two other men allegedly involved in the attempted manufacture of the drug.
O'Callaghan will be eligible for parole after eight months.

Such an important event where the head of the police force's son is involved in drug production operation, and the mass media write only a few lines.
If this was a member of the masses, the media would go out of its way to not only describe the drug lab, but would go out of its way to also discredit the individual, and their entire history would be for everyone to see.
Judges and police work hand in hand against the masses in general.
It is appalling that the judge even considered a 'suspended prison sentence'.
Police are generally above the law, as they are the law upholders, and the general politics is not to incarcerate them, so evidence is usually manipulated and tampered with, in such a manner not to warrant incarceration.
Another clear indication of how the mass media works for the government.
