Randy and Evi Quaid at a screening of Lions for Lambs in New York (4/2007)

A warrant has been issued for Randy Quaid and his wife Evi after the two skipped out on a $10000+ hotel bill at the upscale San Ysidro Ranch located just outside Santa Barbara. From TMZ:

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they believe Randy and Evi Quaid have a pattern of staying in pricey hotels and stiffing the joints when they leave .. and that's why authorities are trying to nail the Quaids for burglary.

There's an arrest warrant out for the Quaids for allegedly stiffing the San Ysidro Ranch near Santa Barbara out of thousands of bucks. Our sources say the reason there's a burglary warrant out for them is because cops believe when they rented the hotel room they had the intention of staying without paying -- and that fits the definition of burglary.

Our law enforcement sources tell us the reason they believe the Quaids were scamming the San Ysidro Ranch from the get-go is because they have evidence they've done it before. Our sources say the Quaids stiffed the uber-ritzy Bel Air Hotel in L.A., among other places.

Sorry to make you uncomfortable, but I'm gonna get in your face here for a second and shake up your entire belief system. Who are the real criminals here? The evil capitalist pig hotel owners, charging criminally high prices for such basic human necessities as shelter, hot stone massages, and lobster thermidor; or the Quaids, a couple courageous enough to take a stand against an overwhelming injustice? The answer to that question: definitely the Quaids. Fucking deadbeats.

UPDATE: Randy and Evi were both just arrested in Marfa, Texas. From TMZ:

Presidio County Sheriff's deputies tell us Randy assaulted them both physically and verbally and resisted arrest, but they will not file charges. We're also told the Sheriff's office is in touch with officials in Santa Barbara County, who want Randy and Evi extradited.

Here's hoping the owner of the San Ysidro Ranch gets to testify at Randy's trial. "YOU FUCKED WITH THE WRONG FIVE DIAMOND-RATED LUXURY RESORT AND SPA RANDY!!!"
