DoorDash driver charged with felony food tampering after alleged pepper spray incident goes viral

A Kentucky woman is behind bars after allegedly pepper-spraying a DoorDash customer’s food — later telling authorities she was aiming the substance at a spider.

Kourtney N. Stevenson was arrested Friday by the McCracken County Sheriff’s Office after a doorbell camera appeared to capture her spraying something on a customer's order during a delivery, an incident that left a married couple sick and quickly went viral online.

Stevenson is now facing multiple felony charges, including battery resulting in moderate injury and consumer product tampering, according to a news release from the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office.

"Residents should be able to trust that the food they order for their families is safe," Sheriff Noah Robinson said in a statement. "When someone violates that trust and endangers others, we will respond with urgency, and we will pursue charges."
