According to TMZ, he is in court now waiting arraignment. Being held on a 10,000 bond.

Prayers to the victims family, and Chris who is probably going to be put away for awhile!

This is just sad all around.

Terrible. It's unfortunate and Chris had prior DUI/OUI charges several years ago. Prayers to the family who lost a loved one.

by **thisoldmule** Tue Apr 25, 2017 5:15 pm

WOW just read about this. How sad. He left the scene. I'm surprised that he has not grown up. He had several DUIs in his younger days in college and he hasn't changed. This will change his life forever.

by **thisoldmule** Tue Apr 25, 2017 5:51 pm

I hope he had the decency to call for help for the other guy before he ran off. I realize he ran to avoid DUI charges, but what a coward. Maybe he has never had to face responsibility for his actions before. Maybe now he will get some help with his booze problem.

by **Lesallee** Tue Apr 25, 2017 6:15 pm

It appears that Chris made horrible choices. Certainly he will pay for it, not only in a legal way but he has to live with what he did for the rest of his life. And that will be hell because I don't think Chris is an evil man at all so his remorse and regret will be enormous.

Shame on Chris for leaving the scene of the accident! My prayers and condolences
to the victim's family.

Was he to appear on Bachelor / Paradise show - again ??

Soules -- who is from Arlington, Iowa -- was released from jail Tuesday afternoon on $10,000 bail, which was posted by his mother, Linda. He is now required to check in with a probation officer regarding his ankle bracelet monitor, and was asked to turn in his passport. The reality star, who also appeared on Dancing With the Stars, was scheduled to film something out of the country that was Bachelor related

by **Lesallee** Tue Apr 25, 2017 8:35 pm

I heard that he was cast for BIP. I would think that's off the table. What a mess he's made for himself.

by **peebeeb** Tue Apr 25, 2017 11:23 pm

Incredibly sad, my prayers and condolences to the victim's loved ones.

Chris has effed up big time.

I certainly don't condone drinking and driving, if this is what happened. While Chris did leave the scene, when he did the paramedics were already on the scene. This is not a defense of Chris, just a statement of facts.

by **therealdfshary** Wed Apr 26, 2017 9:23 am

He did leave the scene after he caused a death due to driving & drinking. Saw this on the news last night. Shame on him! Mad

Thanks for that additional info, Voice. It bothered me that Chris would run leaving a man to die without ensuring help was there. I don't think Chris is an evil man just someone with some demons it seems. He will pay and pay for this tragedy for the rest of his life.

‘Bachelor’ Chris Soules walked away from the scene of the fatal crash, apparently called someone to pick him up and take him home, and when Sheriff's deputies got to his house he refused to come out.
We're told there were no eyewitnesses to the crash, but there were people present when Soules called 911 and they were the ones who ID'd him when he left the scene.
Law enforcement sources say 2 deputies went to Soules' family home and asked him to come out but he refused. It then took several hours for them to get a search warrant.
Our sources say when they searched Soules' pickup they found beer cans inside. We don't know if they were full or empty.
Deputies eventually arrested him and took Soules to the hospital where they drew blood to determine whether alcohol or drugs were in his system.
Our law enforcement sources say it will be virtually impossible to charge Soules with driving under the influence -- in Iowa it's called Operating While Intoxicated -- because they didn't test him until hours after the crash. The sources did say if there's an independent way of proving he was drinking just before the crash -- say in a bar -- the situation could change.
There's a buzz in the area where the accident occurred that the tractor may not have had its lights on. Someone told us the tractor didn't even have lights. Law enforcement, however, isn't sure the tractor needed lights because it was twilight at the time of the crash.
As for whether Chris could be charged with vehicular manslaughter ... law enforcement says it's way too early to tell. The investigation will take 2 weeks to a month to complete, and the results will then be forwarded to prosecutors who will make a decision.

The only reason anybody would leave the scene like that is to give himself time before a blood alcohol test. Chris knew what he was doing.
It could be that he didn't see the tractor due to the lighting at the time and the tractor had no lights. But when you choose to drink and drive then you are the one who is impaired and causes the problem. It's not an 'accident' when you drive drunk.

by **Lesallee** Wed Apr 26, 2017 12:51 pm

So Chris himself called 911. At least there is that. Sad, sad, sad in every way.

How do you know he was drinking and driving...that is only a rumor started by people like you. Do not ever believe the initial reports that come out from media...They're ambulance chasers who don't care if what they release is factual or not....they just want to be first!...Why didn't his 911 call surface immediately by the media; they would rather hold that back letting people believe he left a man to die. Yes, it was wrong of him to leave the scene of the accident before authorities were there, but he actually tried to save the guy's life. Here is an article with a link which will take you to the actual 911 call.(scroll down on the right hand side under "Recent Posts"...Chris does not sound impaired at all and he did CPR on the guy while on the phone with 911. It was a heartbreaking call. You may want to hold such harsh judgement until all the facts are in......http://getreallol.com/update-the-bachelors-chris-soules-arraigned/

BTW...I have listened to/read tons of news outlets on this and not one has said he was driving drunk. They IMPLIED that he may have been drinking due to his past record and people started saying he was drinking when that is not even known at this time. But that is exactly what media tries to do; cause drama.

And you know he was drunk....how? Did you listen to his 911 tape? And no, the only reason he would leave before authorities got there is not because of alcohol....have you have been in shock? Do you know what happens to a person when they're in shock? SMDH Are you that ignorant to believe everything the media prints? We all know by now how the media changes things up to fit their agenda of drama.

by **thisoldmule** Wed Apr 26, 2017 7:55 pm

What other reason would there be for Chris to leave the scene? People run for reasons that they think will keep them from being in more trouble. He did not cooperate with police when they went to his home. They had to get a search warrant before they could get to him. All this extra time helps his blood alcohol to lower before tested. Even after all that time if they got a high alcohol reading, there is no proof he didn't drink after the accident. Chris has been through this before. He knew exactly what he was doing by fleeing. No reason to flee other than he was trying to protect himself from DUI.
There is no way to know in that 911 call if he was impaired or not. He had trouble giving a location. Could be due to stress, but that is unknown. It is unclear from that call if he did CPR. He said he didn't know how. There were other people there who might have helped.

Don't be naive. I read that he called someone to come pick him up. You think the other person was in shock too? He wanted to give himself time for a blood alcohol test to prove nothing. Then he didn't talk to the police when they came to his house. Innocent people cooperate.

I haven;t seen anything where the media reported he was drunk. Alcohol found on the scene, Chris has a previous record, he fled the scene and didn't cooperate. GEEE, let me think....could he have been drinking before the crash?

by **MPchimesin** Thu Apr 27, 2017 7:42 am

Chris was arrested for leaving the scene of a deadly accident not for being under the influence. They found alcohol but they didn't say whether it was opened or not.

The saddest part of the story is that a man has lost his life and whether Chris was drinking or not he will have to live with that for the rest of his life.

You're the one being naive....when police come to the door to arrest you, NOONE should talk to the police until an attorney is present; even an innocent person. His attorney could have been the one telling him to do nothing until there was a warrant. Regardless, the media fucked up the initial report from this accident making me skeptical of everything else they come out with. Chris was wrong to leave the scene; a man died because of this accident. We have yet to learn WHY this accident happened in the first place and why Chris left; both unknown at this time.

Are you saying this is fake news? It seems you are doing just as much assuming about what happened as anybody else. You don't know if he talked to an attorney, but you seem to think your guess of what happened is more probable than any one else's. Think what you want and let others do the same.

There were multiple open containers in the car.
