Randy Quaid and Wife Arrested at Canadian/U.S. Border

Actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi were arrested Friday night after attempting to cross the border from Canada back into the U.S., according to the Vermont State Police.

The Quaids were detained at the Highgate Port of Entry and apprehended. The two were high-profile fugitives in a Santa Barbara, California, case in which it is alleged that the couple illegally squatted in a residence they used to own. In 2010, they applied for asylum in Canada on the grounds that a group called the "Hollywood Star Whackers" wanted to kill them.

The couple claimed in interviews that the mysterious group was responsible for the deaths of David Carradine and Heath Ledger, and was also trying to manipulate the lives of Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan.

The Vermont State Police statement reads:

"Randall and Evi were taken into custody by Vermont State Troopers and subsequently transported to the St. Albans Barracks for processing. The Honorable Judge Alison Arms was contacted and set bail at $500,000, each. At the conclusion of processing Randall was transported to the North West State Correctional Center and Evi was transported to the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility."
