The L.A. City Attorney has charged actor and TV host Gary Collins with misdemeanor driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol level above .08.
Collins was busted last week while driving in an L.A. suburb. As we first reported, Collins smashed his Ford Explorer into another car that police say had cut Collins off. The Explorer then smashed into two cars parked on the street. We're told the 89-year-old driver of the second car is still recovering in the hospital.
If convicted, the former host of "Miss America" could face up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. He'll be arraigned November 16.

LOCK THIS GUY UP!
Gary Collins the has been, does nothing more than sell crap, and rip off items on infomercials.
How many here have bought the garbage this guy hawks on TV? Before you buy the crap he sells look the stuff up on the net first. So many people ripped off by those worthless information and dubious-seller products. Go to FTC.gov and take a look.
Gary you and your cronies are thieves!

All the rest of you aren't FIRST!
Gary Collins and his drinking problem are FIRST. He places himself first with the garbage he hawks on TV. People watch what you buy from this guy. Notice he doesn't buy any of what he sells. His money is made by taking yours......him and the infomercial people!

Big Deal he's now being charged with DUI. The real hocus pocus will start now with West Coast Justice to Stars and the Lawyers to the Stars that will probably result in this sicko and ripoff artist getting off.
I hope the personal disgrace and bad publicity is really taking its toll on this goof where he will give up drinking.

His latest informercial is "Winning in the Cash Flow Business". Rumored to be a Real Estate get rich quick rip off.
Wonder if his face, name and voice will now bring with it thoughts of drinking rather than wealth?
Good Luck Collins, do us and our families and friends all a favor---stay off the roads so you dont kill us, and stay off the TV so you dont soak us.

Dear #3 under the guise of Tony Little,
What possible reason do you have to say anything to me? I stated my opinion here. And there are many others who would agree.......
However, I simply made a point. Why do you come along and make comments to me? I am neither TMZ or this guy. And I have as much right to make comments here. You do not need to place statements to me.......unless your Gary Collins or his bartender. You understand right?
Now what was it you bought from Toni Little? Oh those horrible pillows? Or that funny swinging legs machine? What ever.......leave other posters alone. Keep to the topic at hand. Thanks!

I say let all the celeb's drink and drive, in their own neighborhood, and kill each other off in drunk driving accidents, and stop driving driunk on main streets and putting the public in danger just because they seem to think they are above the law.
Oh, I forgot, they are above the law
