SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (CBS/AP) Police say Randy Quaid and his wife have been arrested...again.

This time warrants were issued after they repeatedly failed to appear in criminal court in connection with alleged unpaid hotel bills.

Senior deputy district attorney Lee Carter says the actor and his wife were arrested Monday when they finally showed to face the charges.

Randy and Evi Quaid were then eleased after posting $100,000 bail each, and were told to return for a court hearing on Wednesday, the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department said in a news release.

The Quaids failed to appear in court two weeks ago on a felony case alleging they defrauded an innkeeper out of more than $10,000. They have missed several court appearances in the case, which is being heard in Santa Barbara, about 90 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

A phone message left for the Quaids' attorney, Robert Sanger, was not immediately returned.

Simpson deal whenever I saw him in a movie I didn't laugh any more. I like Randy Quaid and he does some funny stuff. I don't want to be thinking about felony rip-offs and mocking the court when I watch his shows. Kinda kills it for me. Maybe he and his wife are on something that makes you irresponsible.; Reply to this comment


by ikizdim April 27, 2010 11:26 AM EDT: They've spent an awful lot of money trying to avoid spending money; haven't they? The original bill was $10,000 and now they posted $100,000 bail each. Add to that attorney fees. Maybe they should have just paid the hotel bill. Hindsight 20/20 I guess.; Reply to this comment
