Miss Louisiana Lindsey Evans Loses Crown

Allie @ Gone Hollywood | Wednesday, October 22, 2008

Lindsey Evans, Miss Louisiana Teen USA, is about a pound lighter, because she just lost her crown.

We just got an advance copy of a statement that will be released from Paula Miles, President of RPM, sponsor of the LA. pageant.

“Lindsey Evans has been part of an organization that believes in opportunities when earned and consequences when warranted.

Due to recent circumstances, Lindsey has been relieved of her duties as Miss Louisiana Teen USA 2008 effective immediately.”

Evans was arrested this weekend after she and a group of friends allegedly tried to dine-and-dash — all over a $46.07 bill. Problem — the pageant queen left her purse at the scene of the crime. She went back to retrieve it, and was busted when cops found pot in the purse.

Here’s the insult to injury. She only had 10 days left on her reign. But pageant officials didn’t have the patience to wait.
