Diamond, 37, was charged in Ozaukee County Circuit Court with
recklessly endangering safety, carrying a concealed weapon and
disorderly conduct in the Dec. 25 incident. His fiancée Amanda
Schultz, 27, was charged with disorderly conduct, court records
showed.
During Monday's court hearing, his attorney Thomas Alberti
requested bond be lowered from $10,000 and asked for a jury
trial, according to online court records.
Alberti could not be reached for comment. The Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel reported that Diamond posted the $10,000 bail.
According to the criminal complaint, a fight began when Schultz
pushed a woman who was harassing her and Diamond on Christmas
night at the Grand Avenue Saloon in Port Washington, Wisconsin,
north of Milwaukee.
After the woman punched Schultz in the nose, a man confronted
Diamond, and the actor stabbed him under his right armpit with a
switchblade, the complaint said.
The man was treated for a wound that was not life- threatening,
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 in
the bar exclaims that he has a knife.
Diamond, who lives in Port Washington, played socially awkward
but brainy student Samuel "Screech" Powers, memorable for his
dark and wiry hair, 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.
