Randy Quaid released from custody, but ordered to stay in Vermont

And Randy Quaid told reporters that he looks forward to staying in Vermont, where he plans to join the volunteer fire department in the small town of Lincoln.

Prosecutors had sought to extradite the actor to California, where he faces charges related to a 2010 incident in which he and his wife entered a Santa Barbara building that the couple contends they legally owned.

Actor Randy and his wife Evi Quaid were released from a Vermont state prison Thursday after a judge dismissed fugitive charges against the pair, according to a report from Burlington Free Press. She grew up in Vermont. This is the ongoing reality experienced by the star of such renowned films as The Last Detail, Brokeback Mountain, Midnight Express, and The Last Picture Show, Randy Quaid. Evi Quaid also is charged with interfering with sheriff’s deputies.

“The food wasn’t so bad”, he said.

But after reviewing her decision during a short break, the judge called the Quaids back into court and said she had to release them.

Judge Alison Arms reduced bail for the couple from $500,000 each to $50,000 on a fugitive-from-justice charge that the Quaids failed to appear in court in California. Arms ruled there is no probable cause to charge Quaid with vandalism or trespassing in California, and later made the same determination for Evi Quaid.
