Reality TV star Chad Ollinger was booked on suspicion of murder after his cellmate was found dead at the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas.

Correction officers were conducting routine checks around 11:20 p.m. Friday when they found Ollinger's cellmate "lying motionless inside of a cell," according to a statement released by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
