This happened just a few miles from us. Why he lives down here I have no idea.

[Frantzie]

Maybe he is a Yankee and he thought he could stiff the locals on his dinner bills.

I guess that idea did not work out so well.

[zerosix]

Perhaps it’s the home of his wife, Mary Ann Mobley (former Miss America.)

Southerners can count?

What’s the big deal? Here in Pittsburgh, it’s a known fact that Ben Roethlisberger does this all the time but yet never gets arrested. Imagine that.

I’m being sarcastic of course. People should always be held accountable for dishonesty

Collins starred in the 1972 TV series The Sixth Sense

I can't believe they actually mentioned that series. I thought I was the only person on earth who remembered it. As a matter of fact, sometimes I wonder if it was just a product of my imagination.

It amazes me what the celebrity athlete class is allowed to get away with and even worshpped for. May the “cult of ball” die one day.

Collins, 72, a former host of the Miss America beauty pageant, was charged with defrauding an innkeeper, said Rodney McGilvary, assistant chief of the Biloxi Police Department. He said Collins walked out on a $59.35 restaurant tab on Tuesday.

He should run for office as a democrat, then he wouldn't have worry about such slandering of his reputation by such trivial wrongdoing.

Go all the way and drive a GM sedan (since no more Olds)over a bridge with a younger woman and allow her to drown. Put on a neck brace for sympahty and all transgressions will be forgiven.

$60 bucks for a steak???? Not in Boloxi!,, Ah,, maybe $30,, the rest was booze. He walked out on the bar tab, bad decision, should have left a few $20’s.

Refusing to pay a restaurant bill over 25.00USD is a felony.What has happened to America and what about if the food stunk and you refused to eat it?That's insane!

Most of them can count.

It’s just that some of them are no ‘count.

Wasn’t he just arrested for drunk driving (there in Mississippi) as well, not too long ago? Seems to be a real mess. Always liked his stunningly-pretty wife.

Collins had two short-lived series in the 60s, the tv-version of “Wackiest Ship in the Army,” supporting Jack Warden, followed quickly by “The Iron Horse,” supporting Dale Robertson.

He accompanies her (his wife) to the Miss Mississippi Pagent held up here every July. He always looks drunk.

[patriot08]

Wow..he didn’t age well. Used to be attractive when he was young.

[Hotmetal]

I think he was in a hit-and-run accident in Mississippi last year.

[Mr. Jazzy]

What a shame.

He used to seem like a real stand up kind of guy.
