If you mean that the police find drugs later and they believe they belonged to you? Yes, the police could file charges against you for drug possession. If it's a misdemeanor amount of drugs, the prosecutor has up to 1 year to file charges. If it's a felony amount of drugs, the prosecutor has up to 3 years to file charges.
