Sheena Benton (born 1981) is an American beauty-pageant titleholder who was named Miss Delaware USA 2005. ==Pageant competitions== At the time of her pageant win, Benton was living in Wilmington, Delaware, but is originally from Milford, Delaware. After winning the Miss Delaware USA 2005 pageant, her first major-pageant experience, Benton represented the state in the Miss USA 2005 pageant, held in Baltimore, Maryland, in April 2005; that pageant was won by Chelsea Cooley, Miss North Carolina USA. In March 2005, it had been revealed that Benton had been convicted for driving under the influence a few years prior to her win. Although there were serious questions as to whether she should be able to compete in the Miss USA 2005 pageant and of her suitability as a role model for young people, the Miss Universe Organization, the organization that owns and runs the Miss USA pageant, eventually allowed Benton to compete.〔 ("Miss Delaware USA Learns Her Fate" ).
