Bid to extradite Randy Quaid fails
Tuesday, 19 July 2011

enlargeAuthorities in Santa Barbara, California, have sought the couple's return for months. Senior Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter says the US State Department notified him last week that it would not pursue extradition.
The Quaids were arrested in September in the coastal city and accused of causing more than 5,000 dollars in damage to a home they once owned. They were no-shows at several court hearings and were arrested in Vancouver, where the actor sought asylum from a group he dubbed "Hollywood star-whackers".
Carter says the Independence Day actor and his wife could be arrested if they return to the United States.
