Don’t take Screech’s picture. :rolleyes: Don’t even think about it. The look he gives to the camera phone is pretty chilling. He stabs the guy moments later. I don’t get it. The photos show nobody was crowding Diamond and his gf. No one was in his face. The guy with the camera phone had to be at least six feet away. Maybe a few months in jail will make him think twice before stabbing the next guy with a camera phone. It’ll be intesting to see how they proceed with the case. > **[‘Saved by the Bell’ actor arrested in bar stabbing in Wisconsin | CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2014/12/26/showbiz/dustin-diamond-arrest/index.html)** > > Police on Friday arrested Dustin Diamond, better known as “Screech” in the early 1990s sitcom “Saved by the Bell,” in a stabbing incident at a bar in Port Washington, Wisconsin. > **[Video: Dustin Diamond 'stabs' man, runs off with clown girlfriend](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2888514/Video-shows-moment-Dustin-Diamond-got-bar-fight-stabbed-man-switchblade-fleeing-scene-clown-girlfriend-Loli-Pop.html)** > > Video shows the moment that Dustin Diamond stabbed a man during a bar fight on Thursday before fleeing the scene with his girlfriend Amanda Schutz, who works as a clown. > [@](#): > > Diamond, 37, of Port Washington, was charged with three misdemeanors: second-degree recklessly endangering safety; carrying a concealed weapon; and disorderly conduct, use of a dangerous weapon, according to a press release from the police. > > He was being held Friday in lieu of $10,000 bond. > > According to an arrest report released Friday afternoon, the stabbing took place late Thursday night during an argument in the Grand Avenue Saloon. ---

I haven’t followed the story since it first broke, but when I heard it, the story was that a bunch of people were hassling his girlfriend (pulling her hair, grabbing at her) and when he tried to pull them off of her he accidentally swiped (not stabbed) one of them with his knife. The person that got cut said he didn’t even know it happened. The details may very well have changed/been updated since I first heard it, I really haven’t paid much attention. FTR, Dustin has lives near(ish) me and has been a known asshole since the day he showed up. As someone on facebook said, we mostly pretend he’s not there. ---

The photos show nobody was near him or his gf when he glared at the camera. In fairness we don’t know what happened afterward and how much longer it was before the stabbing. I saw a TMZ report that there may be some bad security footage. But so far nothing reported about what was found on it. The video in the OP is afterward when he’s holding the knife and being confronted by a woman. I think she was trying to get him to put it down. ---

Basically, Dustin is a dick. He should team up with Andy Dick. ---

**update** The sentence seems fair. The other guy’s injuries were minor. But this potentially could have been a tragic situation. Diamond needs to stay sober and out of trouble. He may kill somebody if there’s a next time. > **[‘Saved by the Bell’ star Dustin Diamond sentenced to 4 months in jail in...](https://www.cnn.com/2015/06/25/us/dustin-diamond-sentenced/)** > > Former child star Dustin Diamond was sentenced to four months in jail Thursday for stabbing a man during a Christmas Day bar fight in Wisconsin. > [@](#): > > “I want it to be clear that this situation will be not repeated again,” he told the court, calling the fight the “single most terrifying experience of my entire life.” > > But Judge Paul Malloy sentenced him to 120 days in jail and ordered him to pay more than $1,000 in restitution to “send a message to the community that we’re just not going to live like this.” ---
