The 38-year-old actor faces a number of charges linked to a Christmas Day scuffle
The actor who played Screech in the 1990s TV show Saved by the Bell has pleaded not guilty to charges resulting from a bar fight.
Dustin Diamond and his fiancée, Amanda Schutz, appeared in Ozaukee County Circuit Court Thursday morning on charges stemming from the Christmas Day scuffle at a bar in in southeastern Wisconsin.
Diamond is accused of stabbing a man after Schutz became involved in an altercation. The stabbed man told police he had shoved Diamond forcefully and didn't realize he had been cut until later.
The 38-year-old Diamond pleaded not guilty to second-degree reckless endangering safety, a felony, and two misdemeanors. Schutz entered the same plea to misdemeanor disorderly conduct.
Diamond has been free on bond. The judge set a $500 US signature bond for Schutz.
