Either is correct. English is a dynamic language and goes through phases is seems. Pled is the past tense and was in common use when I was growing up, now however pleaded seems to be in favor.
Ever notice how many people including on-air personalities pronounce library, libery? That's the one that drives me up the wall.

had to check this one out-i thought it was a tense thing...........
The bank, a news article reported, "had pled guilty to charges that it made false entries." Why "pled"? A lot of lawyers (and a lot of lawyerly writings) seem to prefer it, and some dictionaries list it as an alternative past tense for "plead." But we don't say someone "pled for his life," or "pled for mercy." We say "pleaded." And so it should be with legal pleas. Case closed, one hopes.

I think in this case, 'when he pleaded guilty' is more preferred
than 'when he pled guilty', although both are correct in the
usage.

Plead
To make any pleading; to answer plaintiff's common law declaration; in criminal law, to answer to the charge, either admitting or denying guilt.
He plead guilty.

The correct usage is, "...serve up to ten years in prison when he pled guilty."
You may also hear newscasters say 'snuck'.
There just ain't no such word. It is NOT 'he snuck', it IS 'he sneaked'.
