Randy And Evi Quaid Finally Show Up In Court, Plead Not Guilty
23 December 2009 11:08 PM, PST | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »
Randy Quaid and wife Evi have finally appeared in court Tuesday after missing out on five previous court dates. The husband-and-wife duo pleaded not guilty to felony charges, including defrauding an innkeeper.
The couple arrived Tuesday morning at the Santa Barbara Superior Court to enter their pleas. They are accused of charges of burglary, defrauding an innkeeper, and conspiracy, which stem from a dispute over their ,000 hotel bill in September.
They are expected to return to court on March 1 for a preliminary hearing.
Randy and Evi were arrested in Texas on September 24 after they were accused of bailing out on their hotel bill at the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California. They were released on bail later that evening.

22 December 2009 9:10 PM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Randy Quaid and his wife, Evi, pleaded not guilty to felony fraud charges at a Santa Barbara Superior Court. The Quaids were taken into custody in Texas earlier after failing to show up for their court dates. But Santa Barbara Detective Rod Forney indicated their case could change. He said: 'A lot of things can happen between now and then. It could be dropped to a misdemeanour or there could be some kind of plea.' But the Quaids could also face a jury trial if things go the other way. They were arrested in Marfa, Texas, on September 24 for allegedly running out on a hotel bill at the exclusive San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California. »

Randy Quaid's New Christmas Vacation—to Jail

When Cousin Eddie's up to no good, that's pure comedy. When it's really Randy Quaid in trouble, that's plain sad. The Vacation star remains behind bars in a Texas jail this morning after being collared over the weekend along with wife Evi on an outstanding warrant for their bizzaro California resort-and-dash case. Randy was arrested at his home in Marfa on Sunday, a day after Evi was hauled in. (Local police blame a clerical error for failing to grab Randy at the same time as his wife.)

Quaid Arrested Day After Wife
21 December 2009 12:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Randy Quaid was arrested by cops in Texas on Sunday after failing to show up to court for a fifth time - the day after his wife was taken into custody.
The couple has ignored numerous requests to appear before a judge in connection to an unsettled hotel bill of $10,000 (£6,250) from the luxury San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California.
The pair refused to turn up for another hearing on Tuesday, and a presiding judge decided to put out warrants for their arrests when they failed to show for a fifth court date.
Quaid's wife Evi was taken in for processing on Saturday after cops swooped on her in the Texan town of Marfa. She was released on $40,000 (£25,000) bail - double the amount she paid after her initial arrest in September.
Cops couldn't find an active warrant for the Independence Day actor, and had to allow him his freedom. But after arranging a new warrant, police officers returned to take Quaid in to nearby Hudspeth County jail.
It is expected Quaid will pay the same bail bond.
The couple faces charges of burglary, defrauding an innkeeper, and conspiracy. »
Randy Quaid, wife arrested in Texas
20 December 2009 9:15 PM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Actor Randy Quaid was arrested on Sunday in Marfa, Texas, RadarOnline reports. His wife, Evi, was also taken into custody the day before. The pair has been absent from court hearings in Santa Barbara regarding fraud allegations they skipped out on a hotel bill. Randy, brother of actor Dennis Quaid (pictured), was reportedly arrested a day later because the Marfa Police Department did not have an active warrant for him when they took in his wife. Quaid has been moved to Hudspeth County jail for booking because Marfa does not have holding facilites. A bench warrant was issued for Evi and Randy on December 15. »

Fugitive Evi Quaid Arrested In Texas
20 December 2009 3:01 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Randy Quaid's fugitive wife Evi was arrested in Texas on Saturday after skipping a fifth court date stemming from an unpaid hotel bill.
The Independence Day star and his spouse were due to appear before a judge on Tuesday to answer charges relating to an unsettled $10,000 (£6,250) bill from the luxury San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California.
But they failed to turn up to court again - the fifth time they have ignored court orders - and became felony fugitives after the presiding judge issued warrants for their arrest. The couple's bail was set at $40,000 (£25,000) each - double the amount of their last bond.
However, authorities in the Texas town of Marfa caught up with Evi, who was arrested and taken into custody at nearby Hudspeth County Jail.
Police could not find an active warrant for Randy Quaid, and could not arrest the actor, reports RadarOnline.com.
Sergeant Virginia Anaya of the Hudspeth County Sheriff’s Department says, “Evi was booked in at 3:08 am in Hudspeth County Jail for the outstanding warrant out of Santa Barbara County. She (was) bailed out at 7 am by Freedom Bail Bonds."
The Quaids posted $20,000 (£12,500) each in September following their arrest in Marfa, and they paid the same amount in California in November after missing their fourth court date.
The couple was due to be arraigned on charges of burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy during Tuesday's planned hearing. »

Randy and Evi Quaid Skip Another Court Date
15 December 2009 11:55 AM, PST | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
When they posted bond last month, it looked like Randy Quaid and his wife, Evi, would finally make it to a Santa Barbara courthouse to face felony charges related to allegedly skipping out on a $10,000 luxury hotel bill. But their Dec. 15 court date came and went Tuesday with no sign of the quirky couple. When it became clear the Quaids weren't going to make it, the judge set new bail at $40,000 each and ordered arrest warrants to be issued. The new bail requirement is on top of the $40,000 bond the Quaids posted last month, which they've now forfeited by not attending court. »
