Former talk show host Gary Collins has been arrested on suspicion of DUI. But this isn’t Collins’ first brush with the cops! Read more on Gary Collins’ arrest below.

Gary Collins was arrested on suspicion of DUI at around 9:16 p.m. Saturday night. The California Highway Patrol stopped Collins south of Montecito.

Gary Collins was said to refuse the field sobriety test but was subsequently given a blood alcohol test.

You might remember Collins as being the host of “Hour Magazine” and “The Home Show”. Gary Collins was booked in Santa Barbara County Jail, and later released.

Gary Collins is either a big party guy or has a problem with alcohol. Collins pleaded no contest last year to a DUI charge that actually caused the death of the other driver!

Collins got extremely lucky not being prosecuted for manslaughter because the other driver caused the wreck by making an illegal turn.

But Gary Collins did get four years of probation. Oopsy!
