Ex-Miss La. Teen: I Left My Green on the Table

She's already lost her title, but the now-ex Miss Louisiana Teen USA is kinda sorta owning up to her dine-and-dash arrest this weekend, telling TMZ: "I am only human."

Lindsey Evans -- who was stripped of her crown last night over theft and pot possession charges from this weekend's arrest -- also told us she did in fact pay her 15 dollar tab with "a nice crisp 20." That's a few days late, and 26 dollars short -- but who's counting?

Evans wouldn't drop any more details about the arrest until she speaks to her lawyer ... who probably demanded payment up front.
