Los Angeles , California ( CNN ) -- Felony fraud charges against actor Randy Quaid and his wife , Evi , were dropped Wednesday after she accepted a deal on a misdemeanor offense , a California prosecutor said . The Quaids were facing felony charges of defrauding an innkeeper and skipping out on a $ 10,000 hotel bill in Santa Barbara , California , in September 2009 . The couple have paid the bill in full , according to Santa Barbara County Deputy District Attorney Arnie Tolks . After Evi Quaid entered a plea of no contest to one misdemeanor count of defrauding an innkeeper , she was sentenced to three years probation and 240 hours of community service , Tolks said . The Quaids were first arrested in Texas in September on a warrant issued by a Santa Barbara judge . They missed several court dates since then , prompting the judge to order them to jail on Monday unless they posted $ 100,000 bail each , which they did . After the couple showed up for a court hearing on Monday , their lawyer negotiated a plea deal . While investigators had circumstantial evidence against Randy Quaid , they could not prove his direct involvement in dealing with the hotel or the credit card transaction , Tolks said . Evidence showed it was Evi Quaid who handled the business with the hotel , he said . Quaid , 56 , is known for his roles in several films , including the `` National Lampoon 's Vacation '' movies , `` Kingpin '' and `` Brokeback Mountain . '' His younger brother is actor Dennis Quaid . CNN 's Brittany Kaplan contributed to this report .
