Crime / Celeb Confirmed: Randy Quaid and His Wife Are Made Entirely of Garbage (or Maybe Just Meth)

Posted by David Schmader on Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 11:56 AM

Perhaps you remember the Quazy Quaids from their Seattle shenanigans of 2008, when they ruined then abandoned a production at the 5th Avenue Theater.

Or maybe you remember later that year, when the events mentioned above led to Randy Quaid being banned for life from Actors Equity and ordered to pay an $82,000 fine. (At the Equity hearing, Quaid's amazing wife Evi reportedly blamed the charges against her husband on a "Nazi plot" and kicked a 76-year-old Equity employee so hard she drew blood!)

Whatever the case, yesterday brought a most impressive report from TMZ:

Randy and Evi Quaid Arrested After Struggle

Randy Quaid and his wife Evi were just arrested in Marfa, Texas, TMZ has learned. Law enforcement sources tell us they were picked up by Presidio County Sheriff's deputies. We're told there was a struggle and deputies had to wrestle Evi to the ground as she screamed loudly.

Felony arrest warrants had been issued for the Quaids in Santa Barbara, CA for burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy. They're accused of stiffing the San Ysidro Ranch near Santa Barbara out of thousands of bucks.

Full story (complete with Evi-riffic updates) here.

Yikes. Randy's not looking too good, is he? And he was always such a handsome man.

This makes me so happy. I chose Dennis early on (Breaking Away did the trick) to be my one and only Quaid, and have made up feuding-brother stories in my head ever since. My guy wins!

Total Recall, Arnold to Quaid: Get your ass to Meth.

Thankfully, these revelations won't ruin revisiting his most important work to date, playing Cousin Eddie in National Lampoon's Vacation.

Dude needs to get help. But probably mostly to just go away.
