Randy Quaid... Again

Santa Barbara County Sheriffs Office

The next task for Randy and Evi Quaid, who are obviously on some sort of CIA/espionage/double-agent mission that no one understands?

Come up with a suitcase full of cash.

A Santa Barbara judge set bail at $1 million for the border-crossing couple, who were arrested Wednesday in Vancouver on a warrant issued after they skipped their last court hearing in California.

"We can confirm that we received word that they were detained in British Columbia," Santa Barbara Senior Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter tells E! News. "Upon hearing the news from Canada, the court raised their bail to $500,000 each."

The once estimable character actor and his wife didn't get very far, with border agents quickly realizing that they were wanted in the U.S. and immediately summoning Vancouver police to pick them up.

And why were the Quaids en route to Canada again? Probably for the same reason they were allegedly squatting in a home they no longer owned—and that's anyone's guess.

After relatively skating on charges of defrauding an innkeeper, Randy and Evi are now facing felony vandalism charges after the owners of a home in Montecito that used to belong to the Quaids came back and found the rag-tag pair playing house.

They were previously free on $50,000 bail apiece, but the figure was increased tenfold "to assure their appearance in court next week because they were in essence out of the country," Carter says.

They are now due back in court on Oct. 26. A message for the Quaids' very busy attorney, Robert Sanger, was not immediately returned.
