ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP, IL — A 22-year-old Campton Township man whose racked up a number of speeding tickets this past year told authorities "he really needed to use the bathroom" when he was recently clocked going 102 mph on Swanberg Road in St. Charles Township, according to the Kane County Chronicle. Christopher A. Thole, 22, of the 43W400 block of Cornwall Drive, was pulled over on Hazelwood Trail near Empire Road on Dec. 19 — less than .2 miles from his home.
