Another arrest. Randy Quaid was detained by Canada Border Services Agency officials in downtown Montreal on Tuesday, Oct. 6, CBC News reports.
The actor’s wife, Evi, told the news outlet that the actor was allegedly detained when he arrived for a regular check-in based on conditions he made following an April arrest. He’s set to attend a hearing with the Immigration and Refugee Board on Thursday morning. No other details were provided.
This isn’t Quaid’s first run-in with the law. The Independence Day star, 65 - Dennis Quaid’s older brother — was arrested for allegedly skipping out on a hotel bill in Texas in September 2009. He and Evi then fled the U.S. in 2010, claiming that they were targeted in a plot to kill Hollywood stars.

According to CBC News, the troubled actor was also arrested this past April following an investigation by the CBSA. He was released on a $10,000 bond, which was paid by his Canadian father-in-law, George Motolanez. (CBC reporter Steve Rukavina posted a photo of Quaid in court at the time.)
“At this point, I desire nothing more than to fully co-operate with any restrictions or conditions,” Quaid told the court at the time. “As long as I could be with my wife, even if that means going back to the States to reapply for permanent residency status in Canada.”
