David Spade Helps Phoenix Police Pay for Guns

David Spade can now check this off his Christmas list: 300 rifles.

The funnyman. 44, stopped by a police station in his former hometown of Phoenix on Monday morning to present a check for $100,000 toward the purchase of rifles for patrol officers, the police department says in a statement.

The donation helps fund a program being coordinated by Phoenix Police Chief and Public Safety Manager Jack Harris and Phoenix Law Enforcement Association President Officer Mark Spencer.

"Asking there be no fanfare or media attention, Mr. Spade called last week and said he wanted to donate $100,000 to the Phoenix Police Department towards the purchase of rifles to help keep our patrol officers and community safe," the statement says.

"This mutual agreement can now move ahead with momentum thanks to the generosity of Mr. Spade."

News today said AR15's and with all acc. they were getting 50 guns. That the dept. goal is 300 guns. Have a feeling others will now donate also. This raises Spade up a few notchs in my book. News said last year he gave the police $25,000 to family support of fallen officers, I think I remember it correctly.

They needed the guns because of all the drug runners in Phoenix.

He did give 25k to the family of a fallen Phoenix LEO.

He's from there.
