But Santa Barbara Detective Rod Forney indicated their case could change. He said: "A lot of things can happen between now and then. It could be dropped to a misdemeanour or there could be some kind of plea."

But the Quaids could also face a jury trial if things go the other way. They were arrested in Marfa, Texas, on September 24 for allegedly running out on a hotel bill at the exclusive San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California.

They were each issued $40,000 in bail and have been ordered back to court on March 1, 2010.
The pair has maintained the matter is a misunderstanding.

Their attorney, Rod Ponton, said: "They were never on the run from the law. There's a lot of misinformation out there about this. It's much ado about nothing."
