I missed this when it happened in December. Who knew that David Spade was this cool?
People in the News: David Spade makes his mark with police
(Editor's Note: This story has been changed since it was first published to correctly identify police spokesman Andy Hill. His first name was incorrect in the earlier version.)
The Phoenix Police Department has received some high-powered goodies courtesy of actor David Spade.
The one-time Phoenix resident donated $100,000 so the department can buy about 50 AR-15 rifles.
Spade said he wanted to make the donation after seeing a TV news report about Phoenix officers having to buy their own rifles. Spade grew up in the Phoenix area and graduated from Arizona State University.
Phoenix Police Sgt. Andy Hill says the rifles will be given to patrol officers and that the agency was grateful for the gifts.
"These guys need to be able to do their jobs and I am just happy I could help," Spade said in a statement released by his publicist.
