Randy Quaid and his wife Evi have been detained in Canada, though the reason why is unclear at this time.

The couple moved to Canada in 2010 after using fake credit cards to avoid a $10,000 hotel bill in the U.S., claiming that they were victims of unjust persecution.
This is the second time this year that Quaid has been arrested. In April he was arrested over an outstanding warrant stemming from a missed interview with the Immigration and Refugee Board in 2013.
Randy Quaid is the older brother of Dennis Quaid.
