Miss Louisiana Teen USA Stripped of Title

Lindsay EvansLindsey 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.

76. We always think a nice looking individual must have nice overall qualities. Wrong; good looks has nothing to do with the kind of person one is in other ways. Some times the ugly ones are more compassionate and law abiding.

77. I don't care about the pot either. But when you run out on a bill, that is stealing. I work at a retail store and we are busting shoplifers at an extremely young age. The main problem is the legal system, even though she was caught stealing from the restaurant, she will probably get away with it because her parents will hire a good lawyer. Thats the reason why young teenagers get away with stealing and drug possession.

78. Get Real People, the pot was not planted in her purse. Between the time when she left and came back, there was probably not enough time to think of a frameup. The waiters and waitresses were working, not trying to do a frameup. Unfortunately, with white america, she will hire a lawyer, and her lawyer will get her off, and her record will be expunged. That is why teenagers keep doing what they do.

79. Well...where to start. First off the pot isnt that big of a deal. in my opinion it should be legalized. and to everyone who says it's a gateway drug its not. i have a ton of friends almost all of them who smoke pot on a regular basis and thats it. they have never even thought of trying crack or heroin or anything else. just pot. so that part isnt that bad and shouldnt be something that she should get punished too bad for. for dining and dashing she is an idiot. and when you do that its just common sense to not go back to the restraunt again. you know that the cops will probably be called. if you were dumb enough to leave your purse and then try to walk back in and say oh sorry i forgot my purse when you just skipped on the bill. for that you deserve to be locked up for a while to keep your idiocy from spreading.

80. Sigh. Just your stereotypical good-looking young woman. They're all the same nowadays: airheads and morally bankrupt.

81. This is exactly why the Pope has banned all NASCAR events from the Vatican until 2012. Somebody needs to get the mess cleaned up.

82. Vote for Obama, and watch the USA go down the crapper (maybe for good, this time)........this thieving, stoned teenage girl should not have been relieved of her duties; she is a perfect symbol for where this country is morally, and is headed moreso anyway. Unfortunately, the U.S. is now merely the world's laughingstock; Mrs. Obama is right; pride in the once-great nation is hard to have nowadays. Now wonder the Muslims want to destroy us (and, with the Obama in, they will probably succeed). Bend over, here come Obama's massive taxes; get your Vaseline at the ready! Socialized, sub-par medicare, long lines......only the idiotic American public would vote for this. Maybe your teenage daughter can get free abortions that you won't be notified about.

83. Pretty much guarantees she will have her own reality show soon! Americans sure love to see train wrecks!

84. WildKAT --- You're an idiot! Whoever told you all that about weed is just as dumb as you! Maybe you were on another drug when you read ... that everything you listed is ALCOHOL! Which is man made. Weed is a plant, it helps your nervous system, (that's why they give it to cancer patients) ... NO ONE has died from an OD of pot, nor has it been a cause of any accident, or anything. When police say it was in the car, that doens't mean it was the reason. KNOW YOUR FACTS BEFORE YOU PUT PEOPLE DOWN. And no one cares about her smoking reefer, it's that she was dumb enough to leave her purse when trying to dine and dash. And over 50 dollars, she's a ditz, and that we all agree on.

85. First of all, you don't run out on a bill. If you can't afford your meal, don't order. On the other hand, who went through her purse. Did anyone have permission, or is this another publicity stunt?

86. Yeah baby! Next contest? Playmate of the Year I hope.

87. I think trying to "dine-and-dash" is the crime!...

88. Stupid girl. Stupid pageant officials. The article makes it seem like they only de-crowned her for marijuana, when she had "dined & dashed" as well. Our government is so obsessed with keeping the effects of marijuana exaggerated and calling it a "drug." You cannot overdose on marijuana and it has no physical addictive properties! I've smoked for 15 years and I am a professional and a functioning member of society. The netherlands treats marijuana like tobacco and their society is certaintly not falling apart or overrun by drug lords. Listen up everyone! Stop reading government propaganda and start listening to the facts!
Stop snorting start smoking!

89. I personally know this girl.- We live in the same town, went to school together, have some of the same friends, we've dated some of the same guys and I work with her mom. She has been this way for years. She just finally got caught. Although, this is not her first time to get in trouble with the law since she's been Miss Teen Louisiana. It just never went this public before. Really though the pageant officials should have thought to drug their contestants before giving them a crown! She did things like this before the pageant and once she was crowned Miss Teen Louisiana she saw no need to change and set an example for younger girls that looked up to her. I'm sure she will always been this irresponsible and dumb!!

90. Wildkat-
Nobody cares about the damn pot, idiot! We're all laughing at her blatant stupidity. Or did you not get that part? (Sure, you USED to smoke pot.) Are you a dumb blonde too?
