David Spade donates $100K to Phoenix PD for rifles

The Phoenix Police Department received a donation from Valley native and 'Saturday Night Live' alum David Spade Monday morning.

Spade, who stars on the CBS sitcom 'Rules of Engagement,' stopped at a northeast Phoenix precinct to give Police Chief Jack Harris a check.

Mayor Phil Gordon and other local officials also were there.

A police spokesman says Spade called police last week asking to donate to the rifle program.

Police and the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association have been working toward getting at least 300 rifles for patrol officers.

Spade, 44, grew up in Scottsdale and still has family in Arizona.
