Dustin Diamond is sentenced to four months in prison for stabbing a man during a bar altercation back in December. A Wisconsin Judge, Paul Malloy, orders the former "Saved by the Bell" actor to report to jail on Sunday to start his jail time.
Last month after a three-day trial, 38-year-old Diamond was found guilty of carrying concealed weapon and of disorderly conduct. The Screech depicter, however, managed to dodge the more serious felony charge i.e. reckless endangerment.
Dustin Diamond stabbed a man in a Milwaukee bar. During the trial, he admitted to carrying a pocket knife but insisted he didn't intentionally stab the man during the scuffle. He claimed he was only trying to protect his fiancee Amanda Schultz.
The actor was tight-lipped when leaving the courtroom after the jail sentencing but his lawyer said last month after the verdicts, "We're happy with the results, we think that justice has been done. The jury did a good job."
