It looks like you have a Woodlouse here, but I believe this is a different species. Your woodlouse has a tail and flatter body than Armadilidium vulgare. This one would not be able to roll into a ball either. Here is a reference that may help with an ID: http://bugguide.net/node/view/15976

I think your woodlouse looks very much like Philoscia muscorum. Check here to compare: http://bugguide.net/node/view/55264
