It seems one man just could not wait to make it back to his home state of New Jersey.

New Hampshire State Police say they arrested a Short Hills man for driving alarmingly over the speed limit early Saturday morning in his 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

According to police, Eric Joseph was clocked around 8 a.m. going 142 MPH on I-95 South in the town of Greenland. That’s nearly 80 MPH over the speed limit.

Jospeh’s car was allegedly monitored speeding by a police aircraft.

Police say when they asked him why he was speeding, he told them he was on his way back home.

The 51-year-old was charged with reckless operation and is due in court in September.

NJ Advance Media could not reach Joseph for comment.
