Randy Quaid Arrested for Squatting at Former Home

Actor Randy Quaid, 59, and his wife Evi, 47, were arrested on burglary charges Saturday after they were caught squatting at the guest house of one of their former residences in Montecito, Calif.

A representative for the new owner was checking on the residence mid-afternoon, after the security alarm had gone off earlier in the day, and noticed that someone had been living in the guest house, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department said.

When police first arrived, no one was present. But when they returned that evening to the home on the 1300 block of East Mountain Drive, they encountered the Quaids, who said that they have owned the property since the 1990s. However, the representative of the current owner showed documentation that the client had purchased the property in 2007 from the person the Quaids had sold it to several years earlier.

Whether it's the Quaids or some blond little girl, there are ways to get rid of or take precautions against squatters before they eat your porridge, sit in your rocking chair or sleep in your bed.
