Randy Quaid and wife Arrested and Jailed for Evading Court Appearances

After arriving 2 weeks late for court Randy and Evi Quaid were arrested by police and held on $100,000 bail. The spark that caused this current arrest was their failure to pay a $10,000 bill at the San Ysidro Ranch. They then repeatedly failed to show at a Santa Barbara court. Quaid and his wife were hoping for some forgiveness when they appeared at court but they were met with a different response. People magazine reported that “They came to court this morning hoping that Judge [Frank] Ochoa would forgive them for not showing up a couple weeks ago, but the judge said they showed disrespect by prior failures to appear and by flashing Randy’s Golden Globe award in court the last time around,” said Santa Barbara District Attorney Arnie Tolks.

Actor Randy Quaid freed on bail

Actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi have been freed on bail after being arrested for allegedly failing to pay a hotel bill of more than $10,000.

The couple are accused of using a credit card they knew to be invalid at a hotel in Santa Barbara, California. They were arrested in Marfa, Texas on Thursday following the issue of a warrant in California. While in custody, a local sheriff drove 58-year-old Quaid to a bank so he could withdraw the bail money. “I like to help everybody out,” said Presidio County Sheriff Danny Dominguez. “It’s a small town.”

The Brokeback Mountain star remained in his custody during the trip but was not handcuffed. The sheriff said the actor received no special treatment. The Quaids face charges of burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy in June, according to the arrest warrant.

Josh Lynn, the chief trial deputy for the Santa Barbara District Attorney’s office, told the Associated Press news agency that prosecutors were waiting to learn what court date would be assigned to the Quaids by Texas authorities.

“To the extent that they’ve tried to complete any restitution payment to the business in question, I’m sure that will help to resolve the case,” Mr Lynn said.
