Same Ol' Randy

Actor Randy Quaid and his wife have been released from a West Texas jail after their arrest for allegedly skipping out on a $10,000 California hotel bill.

Quaid and his wife, Evi, each posted $20,000 bail late Thursday after spending several hours in jail, Presidio County Sheriff Danny Dominguez told The Associated Press. Dominguez said he drove the actor to a bank to obtain the bail money.

The Quaids were taken into custody Thursday afternoon. Dominguez says a deputy spotted the couple driving into town, and that they had been staying at a Marfa hotel.

The felony warrant for Quaid and his wife was issued out of Santa Barbara County, California. The warrant was for burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy.

Quaid won a Golden Globe Award and was nominated for an Emmy for his portrayal of President Lyndon Johnson in "LBJ: The Early Years"; but he's perhaps best known for his roles in the "National Lampoon's Vacation" movies, "Independence Day" and "Kingpin."
