According to Sons of Dixie papers seized by Louisiana law enforcement authorities, Lynch was assessed on categories such as "Honesty," "Klannish Practices" and "Ambishous." Lynch's criminal record was so appealing to Foster, authorities say, that he waived the Sons of Dixie's $25 application fee. (In 2005, she had pleaded guilty to charges of possession of a controlled drug - methamphetamine - that police found on her living room coffee table. Friends say Lynch never married...
