MARFA, Texas — from www.foxnews.com – Actor Randy Quaid and his wife have been released from a West Texas jail after their arrest for allegedly skipping out on a $10,000 California hotel bill.

Quaid and his wife, Evi, each posted $20,000 bail late Thursday after spending several hours in jail, Presidio County Sheriff Danny Dominguez told The Associated Press. Dominguez said he drove the actor to a bank to obtain the bail money.

The Quaids were taken into custody Thursday afternoon. Dominguez says a deputy spotted the couple driving into town, and that they had been staying at a Marfa hotel.

The felony warrant for Quaid and his wife was issued out of Santa Barbara County, California. The warrant was for burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy.

Quaid won a Golden Globe Award and was nominated for an Emmy for his portrayal of President Lyndon Johnson in “LBJ: The Early Years”; but he’s perhaps best known for his roles in the “National Lampoon’s Vacation” movies, “Independence Day” and “Kingpin.”

He also played a hard-nosed sheep rancher in “Brokeback Mountain,” then sued Focus Features and the film’s producers in 2006, claiming he was compelled to work cheaply when told the film — which earned $82 million at the domestic box office — had no prospects of making money.

Quaid is a native Texan and the older brother of actor Dennis Quaid.

Marfa, a remote West Texas town, is no stranger to Hollywood attention.

More than 50 years ago, filmmaker George Stevens settled on the area for his epic Texas oil tale “Giant,” which starred Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor and James Dean. (Stevens won a best director Oscar for “Giant” in 1957, the only win of that film’s 10 nominations).

More recently, “There Will be Blood” and “No Country for Old Men” were filmed in the desolate town of 2,100, founded as a railroad stop in 1883.

Bonus #1 — A hand written statement The Quaids scribbled especially for us, which reads in part, “I promise the state of California, Texas does not bother people over hamburgers ordered by room service, supposedly burglarized.”

Bonus #2 — A copy of a cashier’s check from the Quaids to the San Ysidro Ranch — the place they allegedly stiffed — for $5,546.96.

Earlier post: Randy Quaid and his wife Evi were just arrested in Marfa, Texas, TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us they were picked up by Presidio County Sheriff’s deputies. We’re told there was a struggle and deputies had to wrestle Evi to the ground as she screamed loudly.

Felony arrest warrants had been issued for the Quaids in Santa Barbara, CA for burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy. They’re accused of stiffing the San Ysidro Ranch near Santa Barbara out of thousands of bucks.

UPDATE: Presidio County Sheriff’s deputies tell us Randy assaulted them both physically and verbally and resisted arrest, but they will not file charges. We’re also told the Sheriff’s office is in touch with officials in Santa Barbara County, who want Randy and Evi extradited.

UPDATE: We’re told it was Evi who verbally and physically assaulted the officer — she was eventually wrestled onto the hood of the cop car.
