You'rve been given great advice from Terrapene.
The only bits I might add are that if at all possible;
try and find out from your friend where exactly he found it.
Look for an undeveloped forested area close to where it was found and that's where I'd try and release it.
I'm assuming a great deal here......If what I've suggested is not possible, than use your best judgement regarding placement.
Earthworms and slugs are an excellent food for it as long as the food is not collected near an area treated with garden or lawn pesticides. Also it would be great if you could feed him his fill, and soak him again prior to releasing him.
It's great he was found by a person of your caliber!
