‘Bachelorette’ 2014: ‘Bachelor’ Frontrunner Chris Soules Has Alleged Police Record; 7 Other Former Contestants With Arrests

“Bachelorette” contestant Chris Soules is currently the frontrunner for the next “Bachelor.” The 32-year-old farmer has made Andi Dorfman and viewers swoon with his sweet words and actions, however he’s also got a bit of a bad side.

RadarOnline.com is reporting that the recently revealed “secret admirer” has a “history of arrests” under his belt.

Since 1998 Soules has supposedly been slapped with speeding tickets and other minor violations related to driving a vehicle. However in 2001 “The Bachelorette” contestant began getting into some alcohol-related trouble. That year he had been found guilty three times of being in possession of alcohol while under the legal age. The following year he was fined and slapped with community service after getting into a fight on Valentine’s Day. According to the site the “most serious arrest” occurred in 2006. Soules had been charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated over Iowa’s legal limit of .08. He was reportedly fined over $500 and served one year of probation.
