New York (AFP) - American actor
Randy Quaid and his wife have been arrested trying to cross into the
United States from Canada, police said Saturday, the latest twist in a
bizarre long-running saga.
The
actor -- who starred in "Brokeback Mountain" and "Independence Day" --
and his wife Evi claimed asylum in Canada in 2010 saying they were in
fear of their lives to escape a group they dubbed the "Hollywood Star
Whackers."
They claimed it was a shadowy outfit of villains bent on killing American celebrities.
Border
officials say the couple are fugitives from justice in the United
States over alleged illegal squatting in a US home that they used to
own.
The duo, said to have
been living in Montreal since 2013, were stopped on Friday evening
attempting to cross into Vermont, Vermont State Police said.
They were detained and bail was set by a court judge at $500,000 each, before they were transferred to correctional centers.
