News and filed on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>In the documents, a minimum $625 fine, 35 percent surcharge and any applicable court costs were also imposed on the former reality star. Soules waived his right to appear for sentencing. A formal judgment has not yet been entered.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In November 2018,&nbsp;Soules entered a conditional guilty plea&nbsp;to leaving the scene of an accident resulting in serious injury. In May, Soules filed a motion to continue sentencing, which was denied, upholding his May 21 court date. During that court appearance, the judge granted Soules&#8217; legal team&#8217;s motion to strike victim impact statements, meaning the statements would not impact&nbsp;the judge&#8217;s decision in sentencing. As a result, both sides of the case then asked for a new presentence investigation report, which the judge agreed to, delaying sentencing. The Department of Correctional Services filed the report on July 19 and recommended Soules receive a suspended two-year term of incarceration, according to court documents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cta-1\" class=\"post-content cta clearfix\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"3.3214285714286\">\n<div data-vilynx-id=\"280387\" class=\"column cta__video vilynx_enabled\" data-hook=\"cta-vilynx\" data-url=\"\/videos\/280387\/chris-soules-pleads-guilty-in-fatal-car-crash-case\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image--full\" src=\"https:\/\/eonlinethumbs-a.akamaihd.net\/images\/421\/239\/wochit_20181113_soules_280387_560x315_1369706563925.jpg?fit=inside|192:192&amp;output-quality=90\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"column cta__text--video\" data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-cta\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"3.4285714285714\">\n<h2 class=\"cta__title\">Watch<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/videos\/280387\/chris-soules-pleads-guilty-in-fatal-car-crash-case\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chris Soules Pleads Guilty in Fatal Car Crash Case<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-2\" class=\"post-content text-block clearfix post-content--groupedn-txt\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"51.826923076923\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"7.8393665158371\">\n<p>Soules was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/845844\/former-bachelor-chris-soules-arrested-for-allegedly-leaving-the-scene-after-a-fatal-car-crash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">arrested<\/a>&nbsp;in April 2017 following a car crash in Iowa.&nbsp;The Iowa State Patrol confirmed to E!
