David Spade Guns for Phoenix Police Protection
Tama Herrick/ZUMAPress.com
David Spade doesn't seem too interested in settling down, but his love affair with Arizona continues.
The who'da-thunk-it ladies man has donated $100,000 to the Phoenix Police Department to go toward the purchase of about 50 AR-15 rifles.
"These guys need to be able to do their jobs, and I am just happy I could help," the Rules of Engagement star, who took action after hearing that some local cops had to pay for their guns out of their own pockets, said in a statement.
A police spokesman said the department was very grateful for the monetary boost and that the rifles would be doled out to area patrollers.
And this isn't the first time that Spade, who grew up in nearby Scottsdale and graduated from Arizona State University, has opened his checkbook for local causes.
In August, he gave $10,000 to the Humane Society of the White Mountains in Lakeside, where his mother is a volunteer, to remodel its dog park and build a new puppy yard.
Collective aw. No wonder the ladies like him.
Prior to that, he gave $25,000 to the family of a Phoenix cop killed in the line of duty and $10,000 to his alma mater, Saguaro High School, according to the Arizona Republic.
