Dustin Diamond, 37, and his girlfriend were arrested shortly
after they drove away from the Grand Ave Saloon in the town of
Port Washington following the altercation on Thursday night,
police said in a statement.
The man Diamond is suspected of stabbing at the saloon was
treated for wounds that were not life threatening and he is
recovering at home, according to Port Washington police.
Celebrity website TMZ showed video of a man it identified as
Diamond standing next to a table soccer board while someone
exclaims that he has a knife.
Police arrested Diamond for recklessly endangering safety,
carrying a concealed weapon and possessing a switchblade knife,
said an Ozaukee County Sheriff's Office jail clerk.
He appeared in court on Friday and his bail was set at $10,000,
with his next court appearance scheduled for Dec. 29, the clerk
said.
Diamond's public defender could not be reached for comment.
The former child actor's girlfriend was charged with disorderly
conduct, police said.
Diamond played socially awkward but brainy student Samuel
"Screech" Powers as a cast member in the sitcom "Saved by the
Bell," which ran from 1989 to 1993 and was popular with children
and teenagers.
Since then, he has had a number of smaller television roles and
has made appearances on reality programs and game shows.
He lived in Port Washington as recently as 2009, according to an
article from that year in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
