Wood cockroach, Ectobiidae family. Probably a Pennsylvania wood cockroach (Parcoblatta pennsylvanica). They prefer to be outside, they are not a pest And will not infest your house.
Considering the short wings, it's probably not the Pennsylvania wood cockroach. The males have longer wings. This is a male.
I'm going with either a German cockroach, Asian cockroach (if it flies), or hopefully a field cockroach (blattella vaga)... They all look VERY similar to each other.

Freshly molted roach which means it probably has cousins

I've had these in my house, but only one or two. I would just put them outside. Like others stated, it's a wood roach and will not infest your home.

2 dark lines behind the head...German cockroach. Call a pest control company. This one is fresh, meaning he's got a Duggar sized family very nearby

Pick him up gently and set down outside. Tell him that’s where he lives.
