Yesterday, a Vermont judge dismissed fugitive-from-justice charges against famous Quaid Randy Quaid and his wife, Evi, leaving the Vacation star free to give an interview to ABC News. “It’s literally like I’ve been snapped from the jaws of defeat,” he said.
If you’re not up to date on the tragic saga of the Quaids, here you go: The couple is wanted in Santa Barbara, California, on felony vandalism charges related to allegations that they squatted in the guest house of their former home, reportedly causing thousands of dollars in damages. Following the filing of those charges in 2010, the couple fled to Canada, where they sought refugee status, recorded a sex tape

Judge Alison Arms initially set the Quaids’ bond at $50,000 but later changed her mind and ordered their release, ruling that there there was insufficient probable cause to extradite them to California.
When asked by ABC about Arms’s decision, Evi said it was “profound and real.”
“It was like someone understands our situation,” Randy added.
Randy, who told ABC he hopes to eventually return to acting on the “big screen or the small screen or Netflix or wherever” but in the meantime wants to work as a volunteer firefighter, still faces legal problems if and when he leaves Vermont.
“We expect they will be arrested,” the Santa Barbara DA’s office told ABC.
