Sure looks like a box turtle to me.
Let's hear from the collective as to the exact type.....

That's definately a box turtle. 3 toed or eastern I'm guessing.
Yes, a box turtle and if native to your area likely a wild and needs to be released back to the wild.
@HermanniChris @Markw84 @Anthony P may be able to positively ID what kind of Box so you can look it up to see if native.

Three toed box turtle (Terrapene carolina triunguis).
If you do release, try to put it very close to where you found it.
