A sad story in Bachelor Nation today. 35-year-old former Bachelor and Arlington, Iowa farmer Chris Soules was arrested at his house Monday night on charges of leaving the scene of a fatal crash according to the Buchanan County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators say Soules left the scene after rear-ending a tractor on Slater Ave north of Aurora around 8:20 pm Monday night in his pick-up truck. Sadly the driver of the tractor, Kenneth Mosher, 66 of Aurora, was killed in the crash.

Unfortunately, it’s not the first time Chris has been arrested. However he has never been arrested for such a serious offense.

In 2006 a 24-year-old Soules was arrested for a DUI and served one year of probation. In addition to that he has been pulled over or apprehended numerous other times by police.
