A DoorDash delivery turned nightmarish for a couple in Evansville, Indiana, when their driver was ππππ°ππ on camera pepper-spraying their late-night meal. The ππ½πΈπΈππΎππ incident, which left both victims feeling ill, has led to the driverβs arrest and sparked outrage over food safety practices.
On December 7, 2025, Mark Carden and his wife eagerly awaited their Arby’s order, only to discover something sinister had occurred. After consuming their food, both experienced severe burning sensations in their throats and stomachs, followed by violent vomiting. Alarmed, they reviewed their doorbell camera footage, revealing the driver spraying a mysterious πππ·πππΆππΈπ on their meal.
Mark shared the alarming video on social media, captioning it: βDoor Dash employee being kind enough to spray whatever kind of poisonβ¦ all over my food.β The post quickly went πΏπΎππΆπ, prompting DoorDash to issue a statement denouncing the driverβs actions. They confirmed her access to the platform had been permanently revoked and pledged cooperation with law enforcement.
Authorities identified the driver as 29-year-old Courtney Stevenson, who allegedly admitted to using pepper spray but claimed it was to fend off a spider. Investigators, however, found her explanation dubious, noting that outdoor spiders are inactive in the cold December weather.
As detectives sought to question her further, Stevenson initially agreed, but later canceled the meeting. This led to the issuance of an arrest warrant. On December 12, she was apprehended at her home in Kentucky and is now facing serious charges, including two counts of battery and two counts of consumer product tampering.
Sheriff Noah Robinson emphasized the importance of trust in food safety, stating, βWhen someone violates that trust and endangers others, we will respond with urgency.β Mark has since updated the public on his health struggles, revealing his respiratory issues have worsened since the incident.
Stevenson remains in jail, awaiting extradition to Indiana, where she will face the consequences of her actions. This disturbing case serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers lurking in our everyday conveniences. As the investigation unfolds, many are left questioning the safety measures in place for food deliveries.
