MARFA, Texas — Actor Randy Quaid and his wife have been arrested in West Texas for allegedly skipping out on a $10,000 California hotel bill.
Quaid and his wife, Evi, were taken into custody Thursday afternoon, according to Santa Barbara County sheriff's officials, who said authorities in West Texas informed them of the arrest. A statement from the California agency said it was told by the Presidio County Sheriff's Department that Evi Quaid was restrained after a brief struggle.
Presidio County Sheriff Danny Dominguez declined to respond to questions from The Associated Press.
Presidio County authorities said earlier Thursday that the two were in custody in Marfa but the department wasn't releasing other details.

Does anybody remember The Last Detail? I thought he was great in that movie.
May I ask what the source is of these lights? Seriously, I’m curious.
Didn’t the aliens do an anal probe on Randy?
You can arrest someone in Texas for that?
How would the Rangers know of this and their location?
Indeed they did.
Figures. Big Buck, Hollywoody place. JFK and Jackie honeymooned there. Had dinner there once with a family party, many hundreds of bucks.
True. He got $40,000 (probably $125,000 in today's dollars) for it. Big mistake.
In 1975 I was part of a geology filed trip with 2 bus loads of students and 2 Geology professors along with a astronomy club that had 5 each 6” clestron telescopes. We observed these Marfa lights for 4 hours. Years later in about 1989 I went back with my brother a doctor and a friend and spent about 6 hours looking at these lights and driving 90 mph down dirt roads to try and get closer before they faded out. I tend to think they are some kind of ball static electricity. To me they look like a person standing 100 yards away holding a flash light that is slowing going dead fading from white to yellow and then out. They would get excited and start to go up and down like a person jumping up and down and then move off to the side say 10 degrees then slow down and fade out. They lasted from about 3 to 10 minutes each and there would be 1 to 10 viewable at a time. They are real and they are not car lights. When I was there in 1974 there were no ranchers or cars at all for miles and miles. It has always bothered me for years that I could not find out more scientific data on these lights.
Wish I knew. They’ve been known to exist for a long time. The first recorded historical record of the Marfa Lights goes back to the 1870s I think. Ranchers didn’t know what they were. Modern studies have been made by teams of geologists and atmospheric experts, but it is still a mystery.
When I saw them it was really interesting. My wife and I waited in the pitch darkness beside the road for several hours. A few other cars pulled over to watch. Then all of the sudden a bright ball of light appeared in the distance before disappearing. Then in quick succession other lights began popping up and burning out. They seemed to hover above ground level in the distance. Some flickered with green, yellow, or redish hues. Other balls of light would split into two and then three lights before burning out. I took video. It was very interesting.
Traveling east from Monahans on I-20 in late 1975, I covered 109 miles in an hour in my 240Z.
Yeah, I remember that one..

I was gonna mention that you forgot to mention Ft. Stockton.... the beginning (or the end) to the longest straightaway in Texas (probably the US) nonstop. But you did mention it ;)
Been to Marfa quite a few times.Always liked the place.
Things have changed a lot in the last few years.
Seems a lot of northerners moving in.
House prices have jumped considerably.
Not the same anymore.Regards
I have a place south of Alpine and would move out there in a hearbeat if I could.
I love it out there.
Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong century.
Yeah, lots of people choose unwisely. But you’re supposed to suck it up and laugh at it—not sue for punitive damages.
His wife seems off-kilter, but according to IMDB they’ve been married for 20 years! That’s a lifetime in Hollywood.
That’s one of the few landscapes that windmills IMPROVE the looks of.
“Does Marfa have a jail? “
Yes, with lights...
chuckle..
