On Saturday, Maury County Sheriff's department was called to a home on Jacobs Lane in Columbia. When they arrived they found James Bargy, 29, dead.

Authorities said he had a ball gag stuffed in his mouth with duct tape wrapped around his mouth and eyes.

Bargy was also found with an Ace bandage wrapped around his entire head.

Maury County Sheriff's department said the victim had his hands and legs bound together behind his back so tightly that he couldn't move.

Authorities arrested Bargy's 25-year-old wife, Rebecca, who admitted she did all of this as part of a sexual act, which ended up killing him.

Rebecca Bargy has pleaded "not guilty" to the reckless homicide of her husband, James.

Her attorneys said it was part of an out-of-control bondage fantasy, but detectives said she was having an affair with another man.

If convicted, she could face 12 years in prison.

She told officials that she tied her husband up and left him home alone for nearly 20 hours.

Bargy had a bond hearing set for 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday in Mount Pleasant.
