Randy Quaid and wife Evi’s mugshots

Randy Quaid and his wife Evi are fighting back against charges that they stiffed a hotel for more than $5,000.

The couple, who were arrested in Texas yesterday after an arrest warrant had been filed, are fighting mad that they are being accussed of “burglary” among other things.

The couple penned this letter, meant specifically for TMZ, explaining their situation. Also, note the attached cashier’s check below. It’s a copy of the Quaid’s supposed payment for the room. The letter reads:

“Randy Quaid & Evi

We are making the following statement: Although we were married at the San Isidro Ranch and are about to have our 20th anniversary from that happy, lovely event, paying $20K for our bond seems fitting. I promise the state of California, Texas does not bother people over hamburgers ordered by room service, supposedly burglarized. I promise you, we have paid our bill – here is a copy of the cashier’s check – and this is all for PR. The name of our judge was Cinderella, and we plan to have a yearly reuinion with all involved. Marfa, Texas is a great place to be arrested. I would like to thank Sheriff…”

…blah, blah, blah. What a bizarre letter! The Cinderella bit really threw me through a loop. Anyway, regarding the hamburgers, it sounds like maybe it was just the room service burgers that weren’t paid for..? I’m really not sure what point the Quaids were trying to make with that one.

The Associated Press is claiming their hotel bill was $10,000, so maybe they paid – just not in full. It’s hard to speculate at this point because all the details aren’t out there yet. Anything is possible. Will keep you updated.

Randy Quaid and wife, Evi

Randy Quaid and his wife Evi have been arrested in Marfa, Texas after stiffing a hotel for thousands of dollars.

An arrest warrant was issued earlier today for the actor and his wife after they failed to pay their bill at San Ysidro Ranch near Santa Barbara. Police believe that when they rented the room they had the intention of not paying, hence the burglary charge against them.

They say this isn’t the first time the slick couple have ripped off a hotel. Police also have evidence that they did the same thing to the Bel Air in Los Angeles.

Authorities caught the Quaids in Marfa, Texas, where they were arrested – but not without a fight.

Evi Quaid was extremely distraught and had to be taken to the ground by police as she screamed hysterically. Randy resisted arrest and both physically and verbally assaulted officers. Lucky for him they are not pressing charges. This is Texas, you know.

Santa Barbara Sheriff’s department is in contact with the Presidio County Sheriff (TX) and they want Quaid extradited to California.

Kanye, you’re off the hook. We have a new jerk of the week and his name is Randy Quaid. Who does he think he is? So he was in the old National Lampoon Vacation flicks, and yes, he was great in them, but this is completely unexcusable. And then to pitch a fit like a little bitch after being caught? Ridiculous. Throw the book at him!
