Evi and Randy left behind charges for property damage in a California home that they were allegedly living in without the owners’ knowledge or consent.

Immigration and Refugee Board spokesman Robert Gervais confirmed that Quaid will have a detention review hearing before a commissioner on Thursday afternoon.
In an unverified Twitter account on Wednesday, Evi Quaid said Randy Quaid was arrested by a CBSA agent on October 6. He is the older brother of actor Dennis Quaid.

Though he’s known to many as the lovable Uncle Eddie from “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation“, Randy Quaid has since become quite the worldwide criminal. He was later released on bond and pleaded with Canadian officials in court to allow him to stay with his wife. He was also nominated for a best supporting actor Oscar in 1973 for his role in “The Last Detail”.
