Actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi were released from a Vermont jail on Thursday after a judge made a decision to dismiss the charges against the couple.
At first, Judge Alison Arms had ordered that the couple be held in Vermont on a bail of $50,000, but then called the pair back to say they could go without paying. She grew up in Vermont.
Randy Quaid had sought to stay in Canada, saying he was being hunted by “Hollywood star-whackers” who he claimed killed his friends David Carradine and Heath Ledger.
The 64-year-old Quaid and his wife Evi were both arrested in Santa Barbara on September 19, 2010 and charged with felony vandalism, misdemeanor trespassing, and defrauding an innkeeper.

The Quaids said they were pleased to be in Vermont, and he joked about possibly becoming a firefighter. She said she could not find probable cause to support any of the charges because of a discrepancy in dates in paperwork from California.
