Red-eared slider turtle found near Flint River

I found a red-eared slider turtle this afternoon around 2:45pm near the Flint River trail behind the old GM plant off Saginaw Street. It's about four inches long, with an olive-green shell striped in yellow and a bright red patch behind each eye. The shell has a tiny nick on the left rear corner, and the right front claw shows a small scrape. I kept it in a breathable tote with a damp towel so it stays comfy while I look for the owner. If this sounds like your pet, please reach out—I’d love to reunite it with you.
