Officers responded to the parking lot of TJ Maxx in Hanover where they found Keith Russell, 42, and Kelsy Russell, 31, locked out of their vehicle on August 13, police said.
While attempting to unlock the vehicle, officers saw an unspecified controlled dangerous substance in clear view, police said.
The car then started to roll forward because it had been left in drive, police said.
