He allegedly woke up the next morning and said he thought he was having a nightmare.
Alabama.com reported, "Fields called his father and told him he had 'done something horrible,' and wanted to commit suicide. The father then called Bailey’s family member, who was also a neighbor."
The family member went to the house, but Fields refused to let her inside.
"He tells her what’s inside is terrible, and she doesn’t want to see it,’" Moon stated. "She calls 911."
The first deputy arrived at the crime scene around 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 22. He found Fields sitting on the front step of the home. Fields told him that he had done something horrific. The deputy informed Fields that he was going to handcuff him for the safety of both men. Fields responded, "That’s Ok. You’re going to arrest me anyway."
The deputy called the police dispatch for backup. Police reportedly found Bailey's dismembered body in the bedroom. Police said Bailey's head was found near her feet.
Fields was arrested, and then interviewed twice by investigators.
"He admitted to my investigator everything he’d done, so he was stable enough to know what he was doing," said Moon. "He was frustrated because he didn’t get what he wanted."
Three investigators – who have about 100 years of combat experience – said the macabre scene was the "worst thing they’ve ever seen."
Fields was charged with murder and abuse of a corpse, jail records show.
The case is set to go before a grand jury on Jan. 23.
