Randy Quaid and wife Evi arrested for burglary

The drama just doesn’t stop for crazy Randy Quaid and his crazier wife, Evi. In the latest saga of their wacky misdeeds, they were busted squatting in the guest house of a home they used to own years ago in Santa Barbara. The current owner called police after alarms went off. Evi resisted arrest (i.e. fought with the cops) and they were eventually arrested, charged with felony residential burglary and are being held on $50,000 bail. The last we heard of these two was in April when they served a few hours in jail for their part in defrauding an innkeeper out of $10,000 in charges. They missed multiple court appearances for that case and Evi even brought her husband’s Golden Globe with her to court when she decided to show up. I wonder what stunt she’ll pull next.

The Quaids were busted Saturday afternoon on charges of felony burglary — after they were found to be living in a home they once owned.

A source close to the situation tells TMZ the owner of the home sent a realtor to the house after an alarm went off Saturday morning. We’re told the realtor found the gate codes had been changed, security cameras had all been moved to face up, and Randy had carved his initials in the mailbox.

When the realtor went inside, we’re told he found the place trashed — dirty dishes in the sink, footprints everywhere and clothes that didn’t belong to the owner were hanging in the closet.

The kicker — the Quaids allegedly broke a $7,000 mirror that had been over the fireplace and, according to our source, replaced it with a photo of themselves.

The Quaids were arrested and charged with felony residential burglary and entering a noncommercial building without consent, a misdemeanor. Evi was also charged with resisting arrest.

Are these two really this insane or are they gunning for some kind of reality show or movie deal? They don’t have anything else going on as it’s not like they’re getting acting work. Randy got banned for life from the stage actors’ union in 2008 for bad behavior during a play he was working on. Evi came to his aid at the time by assaulting an elderly receptionist and verbally abusing union members in an attempt to defend her husband. They seem well suited to each other in that they’re in it together. Neither of them is trying to talk the other one out of hairbrained schemes involving free vacations. They should aim a little lower next time and try to stowaway on a Princess Cruise.

    They are obviously demented and on a downward spiral. The wife seems completely off her rocker.

  2. Jess says:

    Look at that grin on the wife. CRAZY!!!

  3. Fluffy Kitten Tail says:

    Drugs, alcohol. End of story.

  4. Tuatara says:

    Nobody brings the crazies quite like the Quaids.

  5. ams511 says:

    what is going on with these 2????

  6. tuscan sun says:

    I had no idea about the prior incidents. I just read the links to the earlier articles. What is going on with these two??? Is it possible that they’re both mentally ill and are refusing medication/treatment? Is that possible? They’re combined behaviour is really disturbing.

  7. wunderkindt says:

    Mentally ill or trying to get their own reality tv show?

  8. Jen says:

    Well, if they are trying for a reality show, having insane numbers of children has worked well for others.

  9. Karen says:

    @wunderkindt, What’s the difference, these days?

  10. Electric says:

    drugs

  11. poopie says:

    Hey Ryan Seacrest !!

    KEEPING UP WITH THE QUAIDS

    Kris could drop by from time to time and there is no telling what KRAZY shenanigans will occur!

  12. Green Is Good says:

    Their kind of crazy is SCARY crazy. It’s got to be drugs and alcohol.

  13. Bella Mosley says:

    So sad. Randy is a brilliant actor, tho lately the parts he has played (a tad nuts) seem not to be so much acting as just being…….

  14. albeli says:

    I think she’s a druggie AND mentally ill, and he’s an addict who has no spine and is blindly following her lead.

    Really pathetic and sad, because he’s talented. He needs to dump her insane ass, do some major rehab, and try to get his life and career back on track.

  15. mojoman says:

    On the last picture the GOMORRAH was right on top of Evi’s head, perfectly put I must say.

  16. RHONYC says:

    omg!

    why are they crazy?!?

    bwahaha!!! 🙂

  17. Kaye says:

    I wonder why it took so long for them to set off the alarm. It sounds like they had been living there for a while.

  18. Johnny'sGirl says:

    @albeli…. Totally agree with you..

    They are some crazy ass peeps.. She is extremely violent! I think she is schizo or bipolar but she needs inpatient care for mental illness.. he seems to be just an addict…(if you can say just)

  19. lilred says:

    Maybe they can call Casey Affleck and he can do a movie with them in it…

  20. tasha says:

    I wonder which of their mug shots they hung over the fire place?

  21. Lushus L. says:

    She reminds me of all three of the Charles Manson girls rolled into one. That’s spooky!

  22. Reality_Bites_Too says:

    The Americans want to send these two back to their eurasian home so much, they are an embarrassment to them at best. What a couple of nutters made for each other.

  23. Hautie says:

    I have to agree that Evi seems to be completely off her rocker. And there seems to be alot of toxic behavior in general with these two.

    I am about sure that Randy has been cut off from his Quaid family. Dennis and their Mother… I even think Randy has grown children that are cut off too…. all over his own batty behavior that seems provoked by alcohol. And that unstable wife.

    Sadly, this does look like a situation that is going to end in a positive way. One, if not both, are going to end up dead for some stupid reason.

  24. Tia C says:

    These two are seriously several sandwiches shy of a full picnic. Don’t any of their family members care? I mean, I don’t know what they could do if they do care, but jeez, it seems like they both need a thorough psych evaluation. Perhaps a judge will order that – one can only hope! They obviously need some help. Evi, especially, appears to be crazier than the proverbial sh*thouse rat.

  25. PsychicEyes says:

    This is such a sad story. I am getting the “suicide pact” vibe with these two. Really sad.

  26. Lita says:

    What’s a “eurasian home?”

    I’m seeing a project home built in Hong Kong and erected in Oregon which always has to take the *interesting* but difficult to prepare foods when all the houses have a mutlicultural fair when everone else gets to buy a packet pumpkin pie or s’mores.

    Hehe :o)

  27. Scott walker says:

    Behavior like this usually follows AFTER the psych treatments. And re: an earlier post, what is wrong with grinning?
