Chad allegedly told police that he strangled his cellmate Christopher Kelly and smashed his face into a metal post at Clark County Detention Center because he felt the man was a pedophile, based on reading his mind.
He claimed to police that he has a supernatural power to read people and know things about them, per the police report via TMZ.
There was no apparent evidence of his cellmate being a pedophile, nor is it publicly known why his cellmate had been incarcerated, but he said “if I know something about somebody that’s bad, I take care of it.”
He reportedly went up to the top bunk and placed the man in a chokehold before dragging him and smashing his head into a metal bedframe to make sure he was dead.
Chad reportedly went before a judge Tuesday (December 30), who requested a mental evaluation before the case moves ahead.
He allegedly said he had no remorse or care about his sentencing, telling detectives upon discovering the scene: “Good luck cracking the case.”
