PORT WASHINGTON, Wis. – Dustin Diamond, who played Screech on the 1990s TV show “Saved by the Bell,” has been charged with stabbing a man at a Wisconsin bar.
Diamond was charged Friday with felony second-degree recklessly endangering safety, disorderly conduct and carrying a concealed weapon.
He appeared Friday afternoon in Ozaukee County court, where bail was set at $10,000.
Port Washington police say they responded at 11:15 p.m. Thursday to a report of a stabbing at a bar.

His fiancee also faces a disorderly conduct charge.
Diamond’s agent declined comment Friday. No attorney was listed in court records.
