Caught on Camera: DoorDash Driver Contaminates NYPD Officer's Meal

Video posted to social media shows a delivery driver tampering with food that had been ordered by an NYPD officer — and now the driver could face charges.

In the gross video, the DoorDash delivery man could be seen sticking a note inside a Chipotle container with his bare hands, contaminating the meal. The note read "Hope that ---- taste good," giving the impression that the food might have been tampered with in other ways as well.

Police said the incident occurred sometime between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Monday. The food was brought to the officer at the 61st precinct in Brooklyn and he threw it in the trash.

The incriminating video was posted on Facebook by a user named So Certified. In the comment section, he claimed to have been the one who put the note in the food, saying "This is a Facebook public announcement, I don't violate people food like that ... that was personal. we at war."

In response to the incident, DoorDash said in a statement to NBC New York, "This behavior is absolutely unacceptable and has no place in our community. We take the trust and respect of merchants, customers, and Dashers extremely seriously. We have deactivated the Dasher and have reached out to the customer involved."

Chipotle said in a statement that the driver's actions were "inexcusable," and they have made sure the delivery partner deactivated the account.

Police are now searching for the delivery driver. If they are able to track him down, he could be arrested and charged with reckless endangerment, which is a felony.

Recording your own crime. Is pure genius. When did people become so smart.

I do Uber eats and I wouldn’t even DREAM of tampering with anyone’s food. That’s some scumbag stuff

[toxickllr]

Just imagine the food that doesn't get a note.

Deliberately contaminating food is a felony; the fool needs to be named. Most food deliverers are good people just trying to make a living during hard times.

"Police are searching for the man" Doordash has his name, address, phone number, driver's license, and license plate, what do you all mean "searching"? 🤣🤣🤣

[crypticghost]

I've never used doordash before, but after this, I don't think I'll ever use it in the future

[AggravatedMan]

Cook your own meals people. It's safer and healthier as well

[ColaJames]

This is why i don't do door dash or uber eats 🤮

A couple of my buddies that are cops tell me many officers bring their lunches from home, keep frozen dinners in the precinct breakroom fridge, or buy from a place where they can see the food being made. I don't blame them.
Personally I hope they catch the low life and charge him with a felony. He deserves it. No one should ever mess with anyone's food for any reason.

These delivery companies literally hires anyone with a pulse. I wouldn't trust any of these 3rd party delivery services with my food. People can be really nasty these days if they don't like you

[AbandonedNorthJersey]

I will never use door dash or Uber, what's next? Poison ?

[DwnRace]

This is what happens when people blame others for their own bad life choices!

[luniette]

Damn poor dude just wanted some chipotle

[hillbillychic]

He seems to be a scholar of the English language.

I like to order from restaurants that seal the order and make it tamper proof. Maybe these apps should use a badge for those restaurants that use tamper proof packaging.

[TComsto]

There are some ignorant people in this world. I hope the officer he did this to saves the life of someone this pos loves one day. God bless America and thank you to the police who protect us everyday.

People like him are making all couriers look bad. I'm a courier myself and would never do that.

[marcusjones]

Wow people are brainwashed to think police is their enemies smh what a world we live in

[klimankhmeron]

Can't imagine an impact on people who feed their families making living by working for this service, they should catch him and show what war he is at.

[adamblack]

You don’t ever mess with anyone’s food.
