The 39-year-old actor, known for his role as Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” is behind bars in Wisconsin after he violated his probation in an incident related to drugs, according to TMZ.

Diamond was arrested last year and sentenced to four months in prison after pulling out a pocket knife in a bar fight on Christmas Day in 2014. He was released early in April.

Last month, Diamond spoke to with his former co-worker Mario Lopez about his time behind bars and said he was ready to get his life straightened out. (RELATED: ‘Saved By The Bell’s’ Screech Is Going To Trial For Stabbing)
