Reports confirm that Dustin Diamond - infamously known for playing beloved Screech on the hit 1990s show "Saved By The Bell" - was arrested on Friday (December 26) after a heated altercation at a popular Wisconsin bar.

According to the infamous gossip webloid TMZ, Diamond's longtime girlfriend Amanda was also thrown behind bars following the incident. According to GossipCop.com, the 37-year-old child star was ultimately charged with "possession of a switchblade, first degree reckless endangerment and carrying a concealed weapon."

So... what happened?

Details still remain hazy, but rumors suggest that Amanda prompted a fight after an unidentified woman started antagonizing the couple at the crowded Port Washington drinking hole. Diamond's sweetheart eventually punched the lady's face, and the "Celebrity Big Brother" troublemaker supposedly came to Amanda's defense. The duo then rushed home, but were pursued by authorities later that evening.

Amanda spent the night in jail for disorderly conduct, but was later released. However, Diamond had a switchblade knife in his possession, so still resides behind bars. He remains in custody for felony and misdemeanor counts including reckless endangerment and carrying a concealed weapon. Bail was allegedly set at $1,000, but Diamond has not yet been released. He's scheduled for a court appearance at 1:45 p.m. local time later this afternoon, so stay tuned for further updates...

Surly, this will spark some epic Twitter memes soon:

@FunniCuzItsTru: "Looks like someone else isn't making the big bucks in comedy. Bail is $1,000 and not even his biggest fan bailed..."

@igorbobic: "bound to happen, surprised it took so long."

@DanaWollman: "Why is he smiling?!"

@KirFlem: "Dustin Diamond busted for having a switchblade. Promptly banned from The Max."

@jasonpinter: "If you told me in 1991 that Screech would be arrested before Slater or Zack I'd have called you a filthy liar."

Poor Screech!
