Gary Collins has just pled no contest to driving under the influence of alcohol -- his third one -- and he's been sentenced to 120 days in the pokey ... but there's a catch.
Gary can apply for house arrest with an electronic monitoring device -- though there's no guarantee that'll happen.
Collins was busted at the end of January for driving a motor home drunk around Santa Barbara -- so drunk, in fact, his BAC was .29...more than 3 times the legal limit.
Collins will also have his vehicle impounded for 90 days, and his license will be suspended for 3 years.

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.
