After several hours of deliberation, jurors found Diamond,
38, not guilty of recklessly endangering public safety, but
guilty on two misdemeanor counts of carrying a concealed weapon
and disorderly conduct over the Dec. 25 incident, Ozaukee County
Circuit Court records showed.
The criminal complaint alleges that Diamond's fiancée, Amanda
Schutz, 27, pushed a woman who was harassing her and Diamond on
Christmas night at the Grand Avenue Saloon in Port Washington,
Wisconsin, north of Milwaukee.
In a fight that ensued, Diamond stabbed a man with a
switchblade, causing a wound that was not life-threatening,
according to the complaint and to the police.
Schutz was also found guilty on a charge of disorderly conduct
on Friday, according to court records.
An attorney for the couple could not be immediately reached for
comment on Friday night.
Diamond, who lives in Port Washington, played socially awkward
but brainy student Samuel "Screech" Powers, memorable for his
dark and wiry hair, in "Saved by the Bell," which ran from 1989
to 1993.
Since then, he has had a number of smaller television roles and
has made appearances on reality programs and game shows.
The couple is scheduled to be sentenced on June 25, according to
court records.
