We've just learned Gary Collins was booked today in Santa Barbara County, Cal. and is now under house arrest.
Gary was busted back in January for driving a motor home drunk in Santa Barbara -- so drunk that his BAC was an astounding .29, which is more than 3 times the legal limit.
Collins has been sentenced to 120 days, but could only serve 72 days if he abides by the rules.

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.

It's not everyday a celebrity gets busted for DUI without ever leaving his home ... but Gary Collins found a way.
According to the police report, the former talk show host was pulled over on Saturday night for "erratically" driving a "motor-home."
As we first reported, Collins received a blood alcohol test and was sent to the Santa Barbara County Jail.
He was released on $25,000 bail -- but not before showin' off his pearly whites for the cop cam.

We've learned Gary Collins -- the former Miss America host and talk show host, has been arrested yet again for DUI.
Law enforcement tells TMZ Collins was busted at 9:16 last night by the CHP just south of Montecito, on suspicion of DUI. Law enforcement sources tell us Collins refused a field sobriety test but was subsequently given a blood alcohol test.
Collins -- former host of "Hour Magazine" and "The Home Show" -- was taken to the Santa Barbara County Jail where he was booked and released.
A year ago Collins pled no contest to DUI in an accident that resulted in the death of the other driver. 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. If he was driving drunk again, he'll almost certainly go to jail.
Back in 2002, Collins was found not guilty of DUI in Mississippi.
