Randy Quaid and wife Evi Quaid took a plea deal yesterday, ending a strange legal odyssey that was completely unnecessary and yet highly entertaining. A judge tossed charges against the odd actor, while his wife pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor in their Santa Barbara, Calif., hotel bill-skipping case. Under terms of the plea deal, both escaped additional jail time – they were already thrown in jail for missing court dates on several different occasions. Evi Quaid must perform 240 hours of community service within a year. CRAZY QUAIDS FREED : Innkeepers, put up the No Vacancy signs! Outside court, Randy Quaid said the case taught him “you pay your bills when you leave, and I suppose that’s something we can work on in the future.” Paying bills of $10,000? Not something most of us would forget to do. Randy feels that he was treated a bit more harshly because of his celebrity status, although deliberately thumbing your nose at the law doesn’t help. The Quaids were accused of failing to pay a more than $10,000 hotel bill at an exclusive Santa Barbara resort and they had faced three felony counts . Evi pleaded to the lesser misdemeanor of defrauding an innkeeper, maintaining that she thought they could pay the bills later by mail. Mmmkay . We look forward to the couple’s next bizarre legal altercation.
