Pablo Solorzano told police "it was his wife's birthday and he was stupid to buy drugs," and that "he regretted doing this to his wife and that he would take responsibility completely," according to the court documents.
The two face felony charges of endangerment, possession or use of narcotic drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia.
