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, and she was booked Friday into McCracken County Jail.
  • On Dec. 7, Mark Cardin and his wife ordered DoorDash and became sick after eating, then saw apparent tampering and spray residue on the Arby’s bag in doorbell footage.
  • Detectives reviewed doorbell footage and noted Kourtney Stevenson said she sprayed a spider, but authorities reject that explanation, citing spider behavior and temperatures; footage shows her spraying from a small aerosol can on her keychain.
  • Facing four felony counts, Kourtney Stevenson was arrested by Kentucky authorities and will be extradited to Indiana prosecutors; DoorDash revoked her access and cited a `zero tolerance` policy.
  • Public court records show Stevenson was arrested on December 7 and is due in court on December 23, amid regional and national attention with officials promising updates.
