A former DoorDash driver has shared her side of the story after she was accused of pepper spraying food that she was delivering, claiming that she was merely trying to kill a spider she saw inside of the bag. The driver, who has been identified as Kourtney N. Stevenson, was arrested by the McCracken County Sheriff's Office in Paducah, Kentucky, on Friday, December 12, and charged with felony battery and consumer product tampering, according to a statement released by the Vanderburgh Sheriff's Office. The incident took place in Vanderburgh County, Indiana, on December 6. Resident Mark Cardin told officials that his wife began choking and gasping for air when she started eating the food that was delivered by Stevenson, according to NBC News. The couple inspected the food bag before they looked at their security footage, which allegedly captured Stevenson spraying pepper spray onto the outside of their Arby's delivery bags. Authorities subpoenaed DoorDash's records and they were able to identify Stevenson as the driver. While speaking to authorities on the phone, Stevenson said she was visiting her father in Evansville, Indiana, when she picked up a Doordash shift. She then admitted to using pepper spray, though she said she only used it in an attempt to kill a spider that she spotted near the food. According to the police's statement, Stevenson claimed she's "terrified" of spiders.

After she was linked to the crime, Stevenson refused to appear in person for a second interview. Her refusal led detectives to issue a warrant for her arrest and she was charged with "two counts of Battery Resulting in Moderate Injury as Level 6 felonies and two counts of Consumer Product Tampering as Level 5 felonies," per the release. Stevenson, who currently lives in Kentucky, will be held without bond until she is transported back to Indiana. Her warrant bond has been set to $3,500. Before Stevenson was arrested, DoorDash said in a statement to NBC News that the company had revoked her access to the platform and insisted they were cooperating with law enforcement. "We have absolutely zero tolerance for this type of appalling behavior," the statement added. Who Is Zachery Ty Bryan's Fiancee?
