A chilling act of malice unfolded in Indiana, leaving a family reeling and a delivery driver facing serious consequences. A Ring camera captured the shocking moment a DoorDash driver deliberately sprayed pepper spray into a customer’s food order, an act that sent the victim into a terrifying struggle to breathe.
The incident occurred in the early hours of December 7th, in northern Vanderburgh County. What began as a late-night craving quickly turned into a medical emergency when the customer, after just a few bites of her Arby’s meal, began choking and gasping for air, ultimately vomiting.
Investigators swiftly identified the perpetrator as 29-year-old Kourtney Stevenson, using DoorDash delivery logs to connect her to the disturbing footage. The evidence was damning, showing Stevenson calmly and deliberately spraying directly into the food bag while seemingly engrossed in her phone.
Stevenson now faces two counts of battery resulting in moderate injury and two counts of consumer product tampering, charges that could result in a significant prison sentence. The victim’s husband discovered the tampering, reviewing his doorbell camera footage to reveal the driver’s intentional act.
In a bizarre attempt to explain her actions, Stevenson claimed she was aiming for a spider, not the food itself. However, the video paints a starkly different picture, revealing a calculated and cold-hearted act that defies such a flimsy explanation.
The customer’s immediate reaction – choking, gasping, and vomiting – served as a harrowing testament to the intentionality of the attack. The bag itself showed clear signs of tampering, confirming the husband’s suspicions and solidifying the case against Stevenson.
Authorities are now focused on uncovering the true motive behind this appalling act, hoping to understand what drove Stevenson to deliberately contaminate a customer’s meal with a dangerous irritant. The community awaits answers, seeking justice for a family deeply shaken by this senseless attack.
