Busted: Miss Teen Louisiana skips on restaurant bill... but leaves behind purse stashed with drugs



Miss Teen Louisiana and three of her girlfriends have been busted for dashing from a restaurant without paying the $46 bill.

But here's the best part. Beauty queen Lindsey Evans, 18, left behind her purse stashed with drugs and still went back to fetch it.



However, the restaurant manager had already found Evans' purse, which had her identification inside, so he called the police.

Just as officers finished taking a statement from the manager, the group returned and police immediately recognised the 5ft 8in, blonde, green-eyed beauty from her driver's licence picture.

Then it went from bad to worse. Not only were the four taken into custody, but police allegedly found Xanax and a bag of marijuana in Evans' purse.

Evans has been charged with theft and possession.



One of Evans' friends, Jennifer Martin, 22, claims that they were ready to pay the bill at Posado's restaurant in Bossier City, Louisiana, with cash and debit cards, but 'the service was so slow, we just said "screw it" and left'.

A spokesman for the Miss Louisiana Teen USA organisation says they haven't decided Evans' fate. Her reign ends next month.

Evans first competed in Miss Louisiana Teen USA pageant in 2007 where she was placed runner up.

She entered the pageant again this year and won.

Evans says her hobbies include dancing, shopping and networking.



She also enjoys playing with and caring for her chihuahuas, Babii and Zeke.

Her motto in life is: 'If you want the rainbow, you have to tolerate the rain.'
