Oscar nominee Randy Quaid and his wife Evi have been released from a Canadian detention facility as their case takes yet another odd twist.
The Canada Border Services Agency confirms Evi Quaid is a Canadian citizen and the agency will not be proceeding with an admissibility hearing for her.
The Quaids were arrested in a tony Vancouver neighbourhood last week on outstanding U.S. warrants for felony vandalism.
The pair later appeared at an immigration hearing in which they requested refugee status based on their belief that they were being persecuted by “Hollywood star whackers,” as they put it, and that their lives were in danger.
During the hearing last week, Evi Quaid repeatedly said her father was a Canadian FBI agent, a claim she explained later saying her father was a Canadian who moved to the United States and began working for the FBI.
As for Randy Quaid, the border services agency would only say that he is no longer in detention and his case will be proceeding through immigration channels.
