How can one of my favorite characters from one of my favorite movies be in jail?
Randy Quaid (National Lampoon’s Vacation movies, Independence Day, etc..) and his wife Evi have been charged with burglary.
No, not the type of burglary where you break into someone’s house and steal a bunch of stuff but instead the charge is based on the couple’s “pattern of staying in pricey hotels and stiffing the joints when they leave.”
“There’s a burglary warrant out for them because cops believe when they rented the hotel room they had the intention of staying without paying — and that fits the definition of burglary.”
But they’re also charged with defrauding an innkeeper. What the heck does that mean? I don’t have the answers yet. I hope that doesn’t mean not tipping the maid because then I’m most certainly guilty myself. I always forget!
