Vermont judge orders actor Randy Quaid, wife released from jail

Oct 15 (Reuters) - A Vermont judge on Thursday ordered actor
Randy Quaid and his wife released from jail after they were
arrested on Saturday on an outstanding California warrant while
crossing into the United States from Canada.
Vermont Superior Court Judge Alison Arms found that there
was no reason to hold Quaid, 65, or his wife Evi Quaid, and
allowed both to walk free from a courthouse in St. Albans in
northern Vermont, a court official said.
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. He faces charges of vandalism,
unauthorized entry into a dwelling and failure to appear for a
court appearance in California.
Earlier in the week, Quaid told the judge he had not been
informed ahead of time of the 2010 court proceeding, which he
said occurred while he was in Vancouver on a previously
scheduled trip.
After leaving the court on Thursday, Quaid told reporters he
planned to remain in Vermont and was interested in joining a
local volunteer fire department, the Burlington Free Press
reported.
Quaid is known for movies such as "The Last Picture Show"
and "The Last Detail," for which he received an Oscar
nomination, as well as the blockbuster "Independence Day" and
the "Vacation" series of comedies. He is the older brother of
actor Dennis Quaid.
