Kourtney Stevenson was allegedly caught on camera spraying meal with chemical that later sickened customers
A driver for the popular food delivery platform DoorDash has been arrested after allegations that she showered an order with pepper spray in plain view of a doorbell camera, sickening a customer and his wife, according to authorities in Indiana.
Kourtney Stevenson faces counts of felony battery and consumer product tampering, the Vanderburgh county sheriff’s office said in a statement on Friday, addressing a case that is bound to be of significant interest to DoorDash’s 42 million or so users.
Stevenson, 29, allegedly told investigators that she used the pepper spray in question to try to kill a spider that had frightened her, but they did not believe her, saying it was too cold at the time of the delivery for that kind of creature to be out.
The “it’s too cold” logic doesn’t really hold up. A spider could be in a warmer place like indoors or her car and then have gotten in the bag. Of course, her claims don’t make much sense, either. She could have just fled. Of course, I’m no psychological expert regarding phobia driven behavior. Anyway, if she did want to harm the customers for some reason, that’s wild that she sprayed it on the porch and not just on the street or in her car. I suppose maybe if she did t want to get pepper spray inside her vehicle.
Anyone who thinks pepper spray is what you use on spiders should be locked up.
Absolutely.
You need a lighter in front of the nozzle first. This isn’t amateur hour.
Please don’t harm spiders.
How many legs are you typing this with right now?
The normal amount. I want to say, five?
Nah I jest. Spidey bois are our friends, they’re unsung heroes of the pest-killing world.
I’m still not a fan though.
Sounds like, whatever her reason, she did it on an impulse.
