Dear Jessica,
This is a female German Cockroach and she is dragging around her ootheca or egg case. According to BugGuide: “Nocturnal; major pest of residential and commercial structures. Some people can develop severe allergies to cockroach parts, feces, and oils. Females carry the ootheca for up to a month, dropping it just before the eggs hatch.”
