I would guess a box turtle of some kind? Looks fairly old

Native to your area.

Native to your area as in maybe illegal to posses?
Check your local laws. You may be required to return it back to nature.

Anything native to your area should always be left alone unless injured. If this one was found, it needs to go back. Please tell your friend.

Yeah, razorback musk. Those are very neat, the one species of turtle I see very infrequently. Of the hundreds of turtles I've pulled from dams and spillways, I've only pulled three of these in the past two decades. They are super secretive, and unless you're digging through pond mud and turning over sunken logs, you probably won't see them.

All that said, looks like a wild one in need of a return to the wild.
