Randy Quaid and wife Evi Quaid were arrested in Vermont on Friday night after attempting to cross from Canada into the United States, where they were deemed to be "fugitives from justice." The two had fled north of the border in 2010 after bench warrants were issued over their failure to appear at a hearing over a California residential burglary case, in which they were charged for allegedly squatting in a home, which they say they owned. The 65-year-old Independence Day and Vacation actor and his wife had said they sought refuge in Canada out of fear they will be killed for their money by "Hollywood star whackers." "On October 9, 2015, Randall Quaid...

The “Independence Day” star was arrested in Montreal, Canada for the second time this year and he’ll have a detention review on Thursday (October 8).
Randy’s wife Evi Quaid told press that her husband was checking in with the Cbsa officials on Tuesday when he was detained and the Canada Border Service Agency is yet to issue a comment.

Randy Quaid and his wife Evi won't be forced to return to the Us to face trespassing and vandalism charges, the Us Department of Justice has ruled. The couple were arrested last fall in Santa Barbara on suspicion of illegally squatting in a home they once owned. Once they were freed from jail, the Quaids fled to Canada and were granted residency in the country earlier this year. The Santa Barbara district attorney's office later filed an extradition request to force Randy and Evi Quaid to return to the Us, but the Department of Justice announced that it will not pursue the matter any further. Joyce Dudley, Santa Barbara's district attorney, reacted to the Doj's ruling by saying: "In declining to seek extradition, the Usdoj (more)...

Celebrities have their fair share of run-ins with the law. And then there are those who like to run away from the law. Just look at Estella Warren, who yesterday after getting busted for a DUI punched a cop and tried to escape police custody only to be captured again. Usually, a tabloid circus erupts around these folks that can last in some cases for years (see O.J. Simpson). So in honor of the latest high profile lawbreaker—and with apologies to the Bronx Zoo cobra (we love ya, Mia)—we've rounded up our favorite five famous celebrity fugitives of recent infamy: 1.

Randy Quaid and his wife Evi are taking their 'star whackers' saga to the screen after making a new film about the evil forces who have driven the couple out of Hollywood and the U.S.
The Quaids are fighting for refugee status in Canada after fleeing the U.S. following a series of bizarre run-ins with the law.
An arrest warrant for the couple was issued last year after the actor and his wife failed to show up in court to face charges of trespassing and vandalism after they were found living in the guest house of a property they formally owned. The pair claimed the house was illegally sold.
While battling for immigration status in late 2010, Brokeback Mountain star Quaid revealed he and his wife had fled to Canada to escape the "star whackers" who were preying on stars like him and Mel Gibson.
The actor has written a song about his mysterious enemies and now the couple have put together a docudrama chronicling its escape to Canada, according to the Globe and Mail newspaper.
The film, entitled Star Whackers, will screen on 22 April and loosely follows a plotline where shadowy forces are trying to murder Randy Quaid to steal his star power for themselves, according to CinemaBlend.com.
A statement from Evi Quaid reads, "For the first time I would like an audience reaction to my art as a work in progress, so I may understand its content through other eyes."...

Randy Quaid has announced that he will publicly screen a docu-drama about an alleged Hollywood conspiracy to kill him and wife Evi Quaid. The movie, titled Star Whackers, will feature the Kingpin star "in three roles" and follow Quaid as he is tracked by assassins who "plot his demise and hunt him so to appropriate for themselves his value as a movie star". The Quaids will debut Star Whackers at Vancouver's Rio Theatre on April 22 as part of a double bill with Randy's 2008 movie Real Time. The couple will then host a Q&A after the showing.

Given all the big-name celebrity meltdowns lately, you’d be forgiven if you’ve already forgotten the strange saga of Randy and Evi Quaid, who dodged various criminal accusations before escaping to Canada, where they claimed in a strange interview with Good Morning America that they were fleeing from a conspiracy of “star whackers” who killed celebrities or maybe just embarrassed celebrities or something something the Mafia! Since the married couple seemed legitimately unhinged, it was difficult to find any humor in the situation. But now Randy Quaid has debuted his new song, “Star Whackers,” with his band Randy Quaid and the Fugitives.

Randy Quaid is celebrating after his wife Evi was granted Canadian citizenship - paving the way for the Brokeback Mountain star to remain in the country.
The couple was arrested in Vancouver, British Columbia, in October on outstanding U.S. warrants related to vandalism charges in California.
They requested refugee status after claiming they were being persecuted by "Hollywood star whackers" and that their lives were in danger.
Now their bid to stay in Canada permanently has been given a boost after officials granted Evi Quaid citizenship because her father is Canadian.
She has now applied to sponsor her husband's residency request, and officials at the Canada Border Services Agency have dropped proceedings against him, according to Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail.
The Hollywood star says, "Today, we are here to say thank you to Canada. Thank you for your warm welcome, and thank you for giving us the opportunity to live in peace... I look forward to working on many exciting Canadian projects in the future."...

Canadian immigration officials have cancelled admissibility proceedings against Randy and Evi Quaid, permitting them to stay in the country. E Online reports that the couple - who are currently facing felony vandalism charges in California over an alleged squatting incident in their former house - will not be forced to return to the United States due to Evi's father having been born in Canada.

Evi has formally applied to sponsor her husband and it is anticipated that Randy will be granted his permanent resident status in due course and before the refugee claim is scheduled," said the Quaids' lawyer Catherine (more)...

A judge has issued an arrest warrant for the wife of actor Randy Quaid after she skipped her latest court date on Thursday, December 16. Evi Quaid was due to appear in a Santa Barbara, California court for a probation hearing, stemming from a felony vandalism case. She and her husband were arrested in September for allegedly squatting illegally in a California home they once owned.
The Quaids had skipped three prior court dates relating to the charges and have launched a bid for asylum in Canada, insisting they fear for their welfare if they return to California. But Evi, 47, is a wanted woman yet again - on Thursday, a judge approved a new $100,000 arrest warrant.
Her failure to show prompted her attorney, Robert Sanger, to quit as her legal representative. She is believed to have stayed in Canada, where she is a citizen, to be with her husband.

They call them the "Hollywood Star Whackers" and Randy and Evi Quaid claim this so-called mob is intercepting Randy's checks and may be responsible for the death of their friend David Carradine. "Something really weird had started happening with Randy’s mail. His royalty and residual checks weren’t coming. We were really, truly panicked," Evi told Vanity Fair's Nancy Jo Sales when she met with the couple at a tea room in Vancouver. The Quaids have voiced their fears of being part of an assassination plot, a plot that they claim took the life of David Carradine. "They" -- referring to the Hollywood Star Whackers -- "decide, Ok, if we knock off David, then what we can do is simply collect the insurance covering his participation in the television show he was working on overseas,” Evi told Vf. “It’s almost moronic, it’s so simple."

This Thanksgiving, it should come as no surprise that Randy and Evi Quaid are thankful for Canada. In fact, he says that were it not for our neighbor to the north, he and his wife would be dead. The two are claiming refugee status, and are currently undergoing an immigration hearing in Vancouver, British Columbia. They wish to remain in Canada in an effort to dodge the “Hollywood star wackers” that they believe are out to kill them. Allegedly many of their friends have died under shady conditions in the recent months, and the pair fear that they are next. If the character actor can convince the Immigration and Refugee Board that his far fetched claims are true, he and his wife will enter the history books as the first Americans to gain refugee status in Canada. “I feel good.

Actor Randy Quaid will have to wait another two weeks to hear if his bid for refugee status in Canada has been accepted. An immigration hearing about the case was delayed on Monday, November 8 after the star's lawyer asked for more time to review documents.
Quaid and his wife Evi were arrested in Vancouver, British Columbia, last month on outstanding U.S. warrants related to vandalism charges. The Quaids are wanted in Santa Barbara, California, where they missed a third court hearing in as many weeks last week.
An arrest warrant has been issued for Evi Quaid, but Randy was allowed to stay in Canada so he could attend Monday's immigration hearing, which has now been moved to November 23. The actor's attorney has told the local media her client will not be able to leave the country until the new hearing date because his refugee claim would be prejudiced if he left.

Everywhere Evi Quaid goes, Randy Quaid is sure to follow.

Evi's $500,000 bond was already forfeited because she's free to come and go from Canada as she pleases and still chose to skip the hearing, so that makes $1 million down the drain for the couple—just this week!

The Randy and Evi Quaid saga just gets weirder and weirder. And the Oscar-nominated-actor-turned-fugitive-turned-conspiracy theorist isn’t exactly helping his case. In an interview with CBS’ Early Show this morning, Quaid, who has been on the run from authorities on felony trespassing and vandalism charges along with his wife Evi, said that he was being targeted by “star whackers.”
The Quaids say they are convinced that unnamed nefarious people are singling out celebrities to either steal their fortunes or kill them. They claim that David Carradine, who was found hanged in a Bangkok hotel room, and Heath Ledger, who died of an accidental drug overdose,...

Actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi Quaid have missed another court appearance - the couple chooses to remain in Canada rather than attends a mandatory arraignment in Santa Barbara, California. The Quaids were due in court on Tuesday, November 2 to face charges they have been illegally squatting at a California home they once owned.
The actor and his wife are seeking asylum in Canada, insisting they fear for their welfare if they return to California. Quaid's attorney insists his client has been advised to stay in Canada for an immigration hearing on November 8. Santa Barbara Superior Court Judge Donna Geck agreed not to issue a bench warrant for the "Brokeback Mountain" star, but insisted Evi Quaid would be subject to such punishment with prosecutors threatening to seek extradition.
The couple was arrested in September, when deputies discovered the actor and his wife living in the guest house of a home they formerly owned.

They were also arrested in Vancouver after skipping another court hearing.

Santa Barbara, Calif. -- "Where are the Quaids?" It's been a familiar question for more than a year at the Santa Barbara courthouse where judges, prosecutors and even Randy and Evi Quaid's own attorney have worked overtime to try to get the couple to appear for two felony court cases.Last year, the search centered on Texas, but in recent weeks the focus on the Quaids' whereabouts has shifted to Canada, where they are seeking asylum from a mysterious syndicate they've dubbed "Hollywood star-whackers."In the latest case, Santa Barbara Superior Court Judge Donna Geck was the one asking about the actor and his wife's whereabouts Tuesday. They had been scheduled to appear for an arraignment on felony vandalism charges, but for the third time in two weeks, failed to appear.The result was an arrest warrant issued for Evi Quaid, who also forfeited $500,000 bail.

Randy and Evi Quaid's long, strange trip keeps getting stranger - and maybe very expensive. The fugitive couple once again didn't appear at court, this time for their felony vandalism arraignment Tuesday in Santa Barbara, Calif. Because of this, Evi's bail amount of $500,000 was forfeited, court spokeswoman Liz Jahadhmy confirms to People. A new bench warrant in the same amount was issued against Evi.

Looks like the California "star whackers" won't be getting a shot at Randy and Evi Quaid anytime soon. The paranoid pair, who insist they are on a short list of celebs to be murdered, skipped out on a supposedly mandatory court date today in Santa Barbara for allegedly squatting in an upscale suburban home they once owned. "Quaids are not present," Santa Barbara Senior Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter wrote in an email to E! News, adding that their attorney Robert Sanger reported the dynamic duo was "still in Canada." The Quaids were due to enter formal pleas to charges of vandalism, misdemeanor trespass and (for Evi) resisting arrest stemming from the September break-in...

The weird, sad tale of Randy and Evi Quaid continued this morning on Good Morning America. Andrea Canning went up to Vancouver to interview the pair, who were recently released from a Canadian detention facility after fleeing various criminal charges in the U.S. The interview makes for difficult viewing, unless you have a profoundly bleak sense of humor. The Quaids describe themselves as “refugees” fleeing from what Randy calls “a malignant tumor of star-whackers in Hollywood.” He goes on: “It is very possible that Heath Ledger could have been murdered. Or David Carradine.”

Randy and Evi Quaid aren't crazy. Or on drugs. Or mentally unstable. They're just trying to be good Hollywood Samaritans who incidentally love Mel Gibson, say bro Dennis Quaid is "on a treadmill of garbage," and think Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears may want to hire some extra security to keep the "star whackers" at bay. Nope, nothing crazy about them. Good Morning America correspondent Andrea Canning apparently drew the short straw, as she was the one who had the, um, pleasure of making her way up to Vancouver to interview the eccentric couple. Let's just say, they didn't disappoint. Right off the bat, they blamed their increasingly bizarre behavior ...

Randy and Evi Quaid insist they aren't mentally unstable, using drugs or lying about being pursued by a mysterious and deadly group of celebrity-extorting assassins. The Quaids - who were arrested last month in Canada and are due in court Tuesday in California after allegedly squatting in and wrecking their former Santa Barbara home - spoke about their fears Monday on ABC's Good Morning America.

Randy and Evi Quaid's Excellent Canadian Adventure may soon come to a close. The quirky fugitive couple, who sought refugee status in Canada following their arrest in Vancouver, face a felony hearing Tuesday in a Santa Barbara, Calif., courtroom. They remain free in Vancouver after it was discovered that Evi is actually a Canadian citizen, although immigration authorities there declined to explain why Randy was released. Although they are notoriously bad about keeping court dates, Santa Barbara Senior Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter says the Quaids posted $500,000 bond each to assure their appearance.

Toronto, Oct 28 – Oscar-nominated actor Randy Quaid along with his wife has been released from detention in Vancouver.
The Canada Border Services Agency announced the release of the couple in a statement.
They were released from detention as they seek to become refugees in Canada to escape, they claim, the possibility of being murdered in Hollywood, reports the Globe and Mail.
The agency said it has withdrawn a request for an admissibility hearing for Evi Quaid because she is a “prima facie Canadian Citizen,” and that she has received an unconditional release.

Randy Quaid and his wife Evi Quaid have been released from an immigration holding center in Vancouver, Canada. The "Brokeback Mountain" star was freed after posting a $10,000 bond, reports TMZ.com.
His wife received an "unconditional release" after Immigration and Refugee Board officials discovered her father was born in Canada. The Quaids, who have been behind bars since Friday, October 22, were being held on a California warrant issued after they failed to show up for an arraignment on October 18 to face felony vandalism charges.
The couple was caught allegedly squatting in a Montecito home they once owned. The pair requested asylum in Canada, claiming their lives were "in danger" in the U.S. "Randy has known eight close friends murdered in odd, strange manners... We feel that we're next," Evi said, mentioning Randy's star friends include David Carradine and Heath Ledger who had been dying under suspicious circumstances.

Actor Randy Quaid and his wife told Canada's immigration board Friday they are seeking refuge in Canada because they are being persecuted in the United States, after they were arrested on U.S. warrants related to vandalism charges. The pair were arrested on Thursday afternoon in a shopping area of an affluent Vancouver neighbourhood.

Santa Barbara County Senior Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter said Friday that Quaid and his wife Evi's bail increased to $500,000 apiece.
Their attorney, Robert Sanger, said he hoped the situation could be resolved but declined comment citing the pending case.
Evi Quaid begged a Canadian immigration adjudicator not to force them to return, saying on Friday that eight friends, such as actors David Carradine and Heath Ledger, have been "murdered" under mysterious circumstances and she's worried something will happen to her husband next.
