BEAUTY BAILS ON A BILL

Here’s a tip – pay your dinner tab.

A Bayou beauty queen and her pals skipped out on a bill, but the reigning Miss Teen Louisiana USA left her purse – and a baggie of pot – behind, helping cops make an easy collar, police said yesterday.

Lindsey Evans (pictured), 18, who was the third runner-up at this year’s Miss Teen USA, and three friends allegedly sashayed away from Posados Cafe in Bossier City, La., on Saturday without paying a $46 tab.

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

As cops finished taking a report from restaurant managers, Evans – who attends Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, La. – and her pals pulled into the parking lot to recover the purse.

Cops then instantly recognized the 5-foot-8, blond, green-eyed beauty from her driver’s license photo.

Jennifer Martin, 22, who was among the busted bad girls, said Evans actually left cash for her share of the bill and the other three were ready to pay with debit cards.

“The service was so slow, we just said, ‘screw it’ and left,” Martin told The Post last night.
