Screech arrested for reckless behavior

From Wisconsin (aka Florida North);

Dustin Diamond, best known for his role as Screech on "Saved By The Bell," was arrested in Wisconsin on Friday, TMZ reports. The Ozaukee County Police Department confirmed the news to HuffPost Entertainment. He was arrested for possession of a switchblade, reckless endangerment in the first degree and carrying a concealed weapon.

According to TMZ, Diamond, 37, allegedly stabbed a man after getting into an argument late Christmas evening at Grand Avenue Saloon. The man and some friends were reportedly being "rude" and "insulting" toward Diamond and his girlfriend, Amanda Schutz, the actor told police.

"Diamond stated that he did not intentionally stab the individual in the bar but that chaos broke out and people were grabbing at him and that he swung his arms to break free," the police report states. Court documents say the victim suffered a half-inch wound with "substantial bleeding" under the arm pit. That victim is recovering at home and explained that he didn't see a knife or initially feel being cut. Still, authorities found a "stiletto folding knife with a 3.75-inch blade, which uses a thumb stud and assisted opening mechanism" in Diamond's car following the incident. The tip of the knife was reportedly moist.

Diamond appeared in a Ozaukee County Court on Friday afternoon, Milwaukee's Fox6 News reports. He is claiming self-defense and reportedly seeking private counsel. His bail was set at $10,000 and he has a status hearing scheduled for Dec. 29.

dustin diamond is not like screech at all in real life.  Apparently he is quite the douche.  He brags about picking up girls at disney land in his book.

Unfortunately, it is legit. It's nowhere near as bad as Chyna and X-Pac's sex tape, though.

you're psyched if you're a girl and you hooked up w/ Screech that is really something to brag about.

I heard he just hired two hookers for his sex tape and it was just an attempt to for him to make money.  Its not like some girl had the tape and leaked it.

I guess he figured if Tom Sizemore can do it, then he could too.

Tom Sizemore's sex tape came across as a drunk at rock bottom.  Its really hard to pull off a depressing tone with a sex tape, but a sad excuse for a drunk will do that.

I never watched it myself, but I read the review at Something Awful. It sounded pretty dreadful.  Diamond's tape, on the other hand, seems like a pathetic bid for attention.

Never saw the sex tape, but pathetic bid for attention certainly describes Diamond's "tell-all" memoir:

Really, the most shocking thing about this story is that it took this long for him to get arrested for assault.

I heard about the memoir as well which is why this doesn't surprise me.
