Randy Quaid and his wife have emerged after 5 years of being on the run. Quaid and his wife, Evi, are each being held on $500,000 bail in Vermont. The duo was arrested by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents upon trying to enter the United States from Canada. Warrants were issued for their arrest in California in 2010 for allegedly squatting in a guesthouse that they owned at some point and for vandalism (they reportedly damaged a $400 mirror). The pair fled to Canada to avoid the felony charges and remained there for 5 years. Since Quaid and his wife have opted not to post the $500,000 bail they remain incarcerated in Vermont. An attorney for the couple argued for lower bail, but was denied pending additional information about the California case. The extradition process has begun for the couple’s return to California to face charges. Many remember Quaid in his role as “Cousin Eddie” in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Randy Quaid is the older brother of Dennis Quaid.
The Quaid drama continues. This case has been going on for five years and continues to draw intrigue given the bizarre behavior of the couple. It will ultimately be up to the judge in Vermont whether she will agree to reduce bail at a future bail hearing. She will likely take into consideration the likelihood that the couple is a flight risk and the circumstances of the case in California. We know one thing for sure, the infamous duo is definitely in a position where they #MightNeedBail.
