Isn’t he in jail, or Canada, or something?
Quaid lived in Montreal beginning in 2013 and was briefly arrested for not checking in as a non-resident.[43] In 2014, the Quaids sued the U.S. State Department for revoking their passports in 2011.[44][45] By 2015, Quaid's legal appeals in Canada were exhausted, and he was notified he was to be deported.[46] One week prior to the deportation date, the couple drove across the Canadian border into Vermont, where they were detained by U.S. Customs. The couple were detained pending an extradition procedure ordered by the State of California.Cousin Eddie is real life to Randy Quaid it seems.On review of the State of California's case, the Vermont judge found irregularities, and voided the extradition request,[47] whereupon the Quaids were released and allowed to remain in Vermont without conditions.[48] With his lawyer at his side, Quaid asserted in a press conference that the reason he was released was that the California judge had issued an arrest warrant before the alleged crime had been committed.[49] In principle, the Quaids were subject to arrest should he travel to another state, yet in 2017, they vacationed in California without incident. Quaid and his wife planned to make Vermont their permanent home, as his wife grew up there.[50]
