It's a box turtle. If native to your area leave it be. Likely wild.

Yep. Its one of your native box turtles. Make sure it is somewhere safe and leave it be. I rescued two of those from the road in one day in Newnan and Senoia. I moved them off the road and back into the nearby woods in the direction they were already traveling.

You have to opportunity to be a hero for that guy/gal! Leave them in the wild.
