EVANSVILLE, Indiana (PNN) - December 10, 2025 - A DoorDash driver has been accused of pepper-spraying a food order that left a customer choking.
A blue-haired DoorDash driver was caught on a Ring camera pepper-spraying an Arby’s order before walking away.
The incident happened just after midnight on December 7 in northern Vanderburgh County, Indiana.
Mark Cardin told WFIE that his wife immediately began choking and gasping for air after she had a few bites of her food.
“I noticed my wife had started eating and she started choking and gasping, and after she had a couple bites of her food she actually threw up,” Cardin said.
This is when Cardin pulled his Ring camera footage and saw the driver pepper-spray his food order after placing it on the doorstep.
“I had a look at the bag and (saw) that there was some kind of spray or something,” Cardin said. “The bag had been tampered with, so I pulled up my doorbell camera and (saw) that the lady who dropped (off) the food had actually tampered with it on purpose for some reason.”
Cardin said he contacted DoorDash and received a refund.
He also contacted the local Sheriff’s office.
“I definitely want to see her prosecuted,” said Cardin.
The DoorDash driver has not been charged with any crimes yet, however, she could be facing up to a Class 5 felony, WFIE reported.
