Arrested Kentucky DoorDasher Said She Was Spraying ‘Spider,’ Not Food: Sheriff

The DoorDash driver faces charges of consumer product tampering and battery after customers reported illness following an incident caught on video.

  • On Dec. 12, authorities arrested Kourtney Stevenson after video showed her spraying an Arby’s food bag delivered in Evansville, Indiana; the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office identified and booked her into McCracken County Jail.
  • On Dec. 7, Mark Cardin and his wife ordered DoorDash and later reported illness after eating the food, then reviewed footage showing apparent tampering and spray residue on the Arby’s bag.
  • Stevenson told detectives she was spraying a spider and said she is terrified of them, but detectives at the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office rejected this, citing spider behavior and winter temperatures observed in doorbell camera footage showing a small aerosol can on a keychain.
  • Kentucky authorities arrested Kourtney Stevenson in Evansville; she faces four felony charges, and DoorDash revoked her access, citing `zero tolerance` policy.
  • Amid regional and national attention, officials say they will keep the public updated as Vanderburgh County Sheriff Noah Robinson warned residents should trust their food and Stevenson is due in court on Dec. 23.
