Soules pleaded guilty in November to a reduced charge of leaving the scene of an April 2017 crash that killed 66-year-old Kenny Mosher. Soules was arrested after he rear-ended Mosher's tractor. Soules called 911, performed CPR on Mosher and waited for first responders, but left the scene before officers arrived.
Soules appeared on "The Bachelor" and "Dancing With The Stars" in 2015.
