Update: Gary Collins Charged with DUI with blood alcohol at .29!!!

As we reported at the beginning of this month former talk show and Miss America host, Gary Collins is pretty much destroying his life with drinking and driving. Collins has a history of DUI busts including a no contest plea to a DUI in an accident that resulted in the death of the other driver last year. Collins was not prosecuted for manslaughter, in part because the other driver caused the crash by making an illegal left. Collins is currently on 4 years probation for that incident, and if he is convicted of driving drunk again, he’ll almost certainly go to jail.

Police busted Collins on suspicion of DUI again for allegedly driving a motor home drunk at the end of January. He refused a field sobriety test but was subsequently given a blood alcohol test and was taken to the Santa Barbara County Jail where he was booked and released. It turns out the 70-year-old Collins registered a blood-alcohol content of .29, which is almost four times the legal California limit of .08, TMZ is reporting. According to a drinking chart, Collins would have to down 10 – 12 drinks in an hour to register .29. This may end Gary’s freedom for quite a while.
