Randy Quaid arrested and then released on bail
September 27th, 2009 - 12:34 am ICT by Aishwarya BhattLos Angeles, Sep 26 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Randy Quaid and his wife did not pay a $10,000 California hotel bill and left. They were subsequently arrested for this felony. A warrant had been issued for Quaid and his wife for burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy after a hotel in Santa Barbara, California, said earlier this month they had not settled their $10000 hotel bill.
Then to post bail, the actor was given a ride to the bank from the West Texas jail. Quaid and his wife, Evi, each posted $20,000 Thursday night after spending several hours in the jail in Marfa, Presidio County Sheriff Danny Dominguez said.
Dominguez said he drove the actor to a bank to obtain the bail money. Quaid, 58, remained in his custody during the trip but was not handcuffed. The sheriff said the actor received no special treatment.
“I like to help everybody out,” Dominguez said. “It’s a small town.”
A police photograph of Quaid, 58, showed him white-bearded, smirking and carrying a suit jacket over his shoulder.
Quaid was awarded a Golden Globe and was also nominated for an Emmy for his portrayal of President Lyndon Johnson in “LBJ: The Early Years”; but he’s perhaps best known for his roles in the “National Lampoon’s Vacation” movies, “Independence Day” and “Kingpin.”
