Actor Dustin Diamond, better known as the generously coiffed and endearing geek Screech in the 1990s teen high-school drama Saved By The Bell, has been ordered to stand trial for a stabbing that happened on Christmas day. A Wisconsin judge charged Diamond, 37, with reckless endangerment, carrying a concealed weapon and disorderly conduct following an incident that occurred in a Port Washington bar late on Christmas night. Diamond and his fiancée, who both live in the quaint Milwaukee suburb, allegedly got into it with two men and a woman, Diamond told police that he accidentally stabbed one of the men when he was defending his fiancée. The man suffered non-life-threatening wounds near his armpit. Police found a switchblade in Diamond's car shortly after the kerfuffle. If convicted, Diamond could face 10 years in jail.
