Donald Trump has said "you're fired" to 18-year old Lindsey Evans, Miss Teen Louisiana 2008 and third runner up in the 2008 Miss Teen USA pageant. Evans was stripped of her title by the Miss Universe Organization after the Miss Teen contestant, and some of her friends were convicted of theft and drug posession.
It has been alleged that Evans and her friends were so high on illicit drugs that they decided it would be funny to dine-and-dash on a $46 tab at a local diner. Now that shows some true pageant class!
The Miss Universe Organization, owned by real estate magnate Donald Trump, has stripped the reigning Miss Teen Louisiana of her title for theft and drug possession—just ten days before her tenure was set to end.
Eighteen-year-old Lindsey Evans—who was also the third runner up in this year’s Miss Teen USA pageant—was arrested with three friends after they reportedly “dined and dashed” on a $46.07 check. When officers searched her purse, they also found marijuana.
According to the president of RPM, which sponsors the 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."

This is not the first time a beauty queen has been stripped of her titles. Maybe the Donald should employ a better screening process.

Agreed. Seems to happen quite often

Tina Kells, I like this story. It's good stuff.
For real! This is the 3rd replacement "Miss Teen" in the past year, I believe. They're have all been tossed out for scandalous behavior - sex, drugs and stupidity! Bimbo brains. I think it's high time these silly pageants were tossed out completely. Trump too. I also contributed a photo to this story.
