Gary Collins Charged with DUI -- .29!!!

Posted Feb 17th 2009 4:51PM by TMZ Staff

Gary Collins has been charged with two counts of DUI for allegedly driving a motor home drunk January 31.

We're told 70-year-old Collins blew an unbelievable .29 ... nearly four times the legal limit.

Collins was busted near Santa Barbara after driving erratically.

Collins was charged by the Santa Barbara County D.A. with DUI and driving with a .08 blood alcohol level or higher. Collins has a prior DUI for which he served jail time.

BTW, according to a drinking chart, Collins would have to down 10 - 12 drinks in an hour to register .29.

4. how do you drink that much and still find a way to operate a vehicle. I am not a big fan of the current laws but that is a little over the top.

5. Looks like he may have a little drinky problem and may need the 12 step program. We have 4 friends that have done time for drinking and driving 2 or 3 times, Why don't they just drink at home or call a cab? I don't get it, but then I don't drink either .
