TV star Collins arrested for California Drunk Driving charge
California DUI criminal defense lawyer news
TV host and actor Gary Collins was arrested for investigation of a California DUI - drunk driving - driving under the influence after a crash that police blamed on another driver, an 89-year-old man.
Collins, 69, was booked after the crash Tuesday in the San Fernando Valley. He was later released on $40,000 bond.
It wasn't clear whether Collins had retained a California DUI criminal defense attorney.
"He was not at fault in the accident," California DUI police maintain. "The other motorist failed to yield to oncoming traffic and collided with Collins' vehicle."
The actor's sports utility vehicle subsequently crashed into two parked cars, Harding said.
"Officers smelled alcohol on his breath and initiated a field sobriety test, which he failed," it is alleged.
Collins was uninjured. The other driver was taken to a hospital for examination of unspecified injuries, and the California DUI investigation was ongoing.
