SANTA BARBARA, California (AP) Actor Randy Quaid and his wife have been arrested in west Texas for investigation of skipping out on a $10,000 hotel bill in California.

Presidio County sheriff's officials said Thursday that Quaid and wife Evi are in custody in the town of Marfa, but the department isn't releasing other details.

In California, Santa Barbara County sheriff's spokesman Drew Sugars says the warrant for Quaid and his wife Evi set bail at $20,000 each. The felony warrant is for burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy.

Sugars says detectives haven't been able to interview the actor yet.

A message left for Randy Quaid's commercial agent, Steven Arcieri, was not immediately returned.

There are ways to use cash and not present a credit card, and of course these are usually the cases where most non-payment abuse takes place. Chances are they are guilty if they were arrested. Hotels want their money and will jump through many hoops before contacting the police since they know the legal fees will only subtract from the skipped bill. Twits. And yes, over 10k is usually felony theft.; Reply to this comment

Obviously trying to get his name in the press again and find a job.; Reply to this comment
