"The defendant stated to law enforcement that it had been an accident during 'freaky sex' with the female victim," the arrest report states.
The 21-year-old claims that he was engaging in a sex act with Christina Meagher early on Nov. 7 when she asked him to put his gun to her head.
Fields said he removed the magazine from his handgun but forgot to remove a bullet from its chamber.
During the sex act, he pulled the trigger and shot Meagher in the side of her head as he lay on top of her.
Fields said that he had only known Meagher for two days and at the time wasn’t entirely certain of her name.
Police said video surveillance taken at the Regency Inn and Suites in Tampa suggested that the pair entered the motel room consensually.
Meagher was later positively identified by her tattoos, along with personal belongings left in the motel room, police said.
Her cousin Nathan Bradley said that he's skeptical of Fields' side of the story -- in particular his claim that she wanted him to hold a gun to her head.
"That just flipped my whole head around, I mean I honestly don't know what to believe anymore," he told ABC Action News.
"I never actually truly believed the story because there was always a doubt in my mind that that's not really how it happened."
Fields was arrested on charges of manslaughter with a weapon, a first-degree felony, and discharge of a firearm resulting in death and ordered held on $30,000 bond.
