DoorDash Driver Arrested After Doorbell Video Shows Alleged Pepper‑Spraying of Indiana Order

Doorbell video with platform data led investigators to a Kentucky suspect now held pending extradition.

Overview

  • Kourtney Stevenson, 29, was arrested in McCracken County, Kentucky on a Vanderburgh County warrant and is being held without bond pending transfer to Indiana, where officials indicated a $3,500 cash bond.
  • She faces four felonies: two counts of battery resulting in moderate injury and two counts of consumer product tampering tied to a Dec. 7 delivery.
  • The couple who ordered Arby’s reported immediate burning sensations and vomiting after eating and noticed red residue on the delivery bag.
  • Doorbell footage showed the courier place the food, take a photo, then spray a small aerosol can on a keychain toward the bag; detectives used subpoenaed DoorDash records to identify the driver.
  • Stevenson told investigators she used pepper spray to target a spider, a claim deputies questioned given 35°F conditions; DoorDash permanently removed her access and is cooperating with law enforcement.
