Gary Collins Arrested

Former Miss America host Gary Collins was busted again for DUI.

The 70 year-old actor/host was arrested just south of Montecito by the California Highway Patrol at 9:16 pm on Saturday. Law enforcement sources said that Collins resisted a field sobriety test, but was given a blood alcohol test.

Authorities say they arrested actor and TV host Gary Collins on suspicion of drunken driving. According to an arrest report, deputies in the coastal county of Santa Barbara pulled Collins over Saturday evening after noticing him driving a motor home erratically. He was later released on $25,000 bail.

The arrest comes roughly 13 months after Collins pleaded no contest to driving under the influence and served a four-day jail sentence in a suburb of Los Angeles. He was placed on two years of informal probation, and records show he was admonished about the dangers of drunken driving.

Records also indicate he was convicted of DUI in 2004 in Malibu. They did not indicate whether he has an attorney.

This is the third time Collins has gotten in trouble for drinking and driving. A year ago he pled no contest to DUI in a crash that killed the other driver, who was making an illegal left turn. And in 2002 he was found not guilty of DUI in Mississippi.

Collins is now on 4 years probation. A jail sentence is more or less given if he was driving drunk again.

Collins is a former host of the "Miss America Pageant" and has appeared in numerous episodes of TV series such as "The Young and the Restless" and "JAG."

Aside from his 8 year stint on Miss America, Collins was a former host of Hour Magazine and The Home Show, and also appeared in series such as The Sixth Sense and Born Free
