DoorDash Customer Says Driver Sprayed ‘Irritant Substance’ on Delivery; Sheriff Investigates
Kourtney Stevenson faces four felony charges including consumer product tampering after her arrest for allegedly contaminating a delivered meal with pepper spray, causing illness.
- Updated Dec. 12, 2025: Kentucky authorities arrested Kourtney N. Stevenson after a Dec. 7 doorbell video showed her spraying a substance toward a meal in Vanderburgh County.
- The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office says the probe began when Mark Cardin reported that he and his wife fell ill after eating the delivery on Dec. 7, and Stevenson told detectives she sprayed at a spider, a claim found dubious.
