A Wisconsin jury found former Saved By The Bell actor Dustin Diamond not guilty of one felony charge but found him guilty of two misdemeanor charges in a December 2014 stabbing, according to CNN.
The actor, known as “Screech” in the 1990s television series is facing prison time with one charge carrying a maximum sentence of nine months in prison and the other a 90 day maximum sentence, according to CBS Minnesota.
The court ruled that Diamond did not recklessly endanger safety, but that he carried a concealed weapon and behaved in a disorderly manner, according to CNN.
On Christmas day last year, Diamond and his girlfriend Amanda Schutz – who live in Port Washington – were out at several bars when a fight broke out between them, two men, and a woman.
According to CBS, Diamond said that the fight broke out after some people asked him to pose for a photo and others started badgering the former child actor and his girlfriend.
“I felt like we were being set up for antagonistic purposes,” Diamond said.
A man was stabbed under the armpit during the brawl, but the injury was not life threatening. Diamond claimed he had a “pen” during the fight, but police later found a switchblade in his car, which was allegedly covered in blood.
