Well, I don't want people going to jail just because they are inconsiderate.
And I don't want people like you, people who have done nothing morally wrong, people who did not steal anything, etc., to have to grovel to police officers about dealing with kids, medications, a husband, etc., in the hopes that the officer does not arrest them for something that should not be criminally wrong in the first place.
Please make sure that you get an attorney, and please do not plead guilty to anything. Pleading guilty will only encourage police officers to harass more people.
I think that the cop apologized AFTER the OP confessed.
There is a recording of the OP picking up the phone. That's why the OP is in trouble. I think you mean that the OP had better hope that there is a recording of someone else picking up the wallet.
