Diamond was freed from Ozaukee County jail on Monday
afternoon after providing custodial maintenance in the jail
under a program that awarded him 30 days of "good time," the
Ozaukee County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
Celebrity news website TMZ said in a headline that Diamond had
"scrubbed way to freedom."
Diamond, 38, began serving a four-month jail sentence on Jan. 15
after he was convicted last year of carrying a concealed weapon
and disorderly conduct in the incident in which he was accused
of stabbing a man.
Diamond's fiancée at the time, Amanda Schutz, 28, was accused of
pushing a woman who was harassing her and Diamond on Christmas
night at the Grand Avenue Saloon in Port Washington, Wisconsin,
north of Milwaukee.
Police said Diamond stabbed a man with a switchblade knife
during the ensuing fight, causing a non-life-threatening wound.
Diamond said he pulled the knife to defend himself and Schutz.
Diamond and Schutz, who was found guilty of disorderly conduct,
also were ordered to pay $1,500 in restitution to the stabbing
victim.
Diamond, who lives in Port Washington, played socially awkward
but brainy student Samuel "Screech" Powers, memorable for his
dark and wiry hair, on "Saved by the Bell," which ran from 1989
to 1993.
Since then, he has had a number of smaller television roles and
appeared on reality programs and game shows.
