BEAUTY AND THE BUST

Here’s a tip – pay your dinner tab.

A Bayou beauty queen skipped out on a bill but left her purse behind, helping cops easily collar the wayward teen for theft and pot possession, police said yesterday.

Lindsey Evans, 18, the reigning Miss Teen Louisiana USA, and three pals sashayed away from Posados Café in Bossier City, La., on Saturday without paying a $46 dinner bill cops said.

After the alleged dine and dash, restaurant managers found Evans’ purse, which had her driver’s license and a plastic bag of marijuana, said police spokesman Mark Natale.

Evans is now a student at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, La., cops said.

The 5-foot-8, blonde, green-eyed beauty was third runner-up at this year’s Miss Teen USA pageant.
