Randy and Evi Quaid Wanted in All the Wrong Ways

Couple doesn't show up for court yet again, setting extradition process in motion

Randy Quaid's going to be spending his Christmas vacation in the clink if he isn't careful.

The Santa Barbara District Attorney's Office is drawing up the paperwork to have Quaid and his wife, Evi, extradited from Texas, where the duo opted to remain rather than show up for a court hearing today in their unpaid bill case.

"The DA's office will be seeking extradition of the Quaids," spokesman Lee Carter tells E! News. "That process will take at least two to three weeks. I started to prepare the extradition paperwork when they did not appear last week."

What foresight!

The Quaids had the chance to save a tree or two by appearing in court either last Monday or today, but the no-shows appear to be playing hardball on charges of defrauding an innkeeper, burglary and conspiracy for racking up a $10,000 bill at the luxurious San Ysidro Ranch and opting to leave without paying.

They'll have yet another opportunity on Thursday to come quietly.

"The Quaids can always voluntarily appear and surrender on the outstanding warrant prior to their being formally extradited from Texas," Carter said.
