Back in jail! Saved By The Bell star Dustin Diamond arrested after 'violating terms of his parole'
Saved By The Bell star Dustin Diamond is back in jail after allegedly violating the terms of his parole.
The 39-year-old was being held in a Wisconsin prison after being arrested on Wednesday.
He was taken back into custody just weeks after being released after serving time for disorderly conduct and concealed-weapon convictions.

An official at the Ozaukee County Jail in Port Washington said Diamond was in custody because of a probation violation.
The official added that he did not have any further details.
Diamond, who played boy genius Screech Powers in the hit 90s comedy show, was convicted last year on charges stemming from a 2014 bar room brawl.
He was found guilty of disorderly conduct and carrying a concealed weapon following the fight and spent three months behind bars as a result.

The actor was only released in April, and spoke to his former castmate Mario Lopez on Extra last week, where he opened up about life in jail.
He said: 'It's pretty daunting, it's pretty scary going into that environment. I found that as long as you follow the rules and stay with the system, it works. You can get in and out unscathed.'
Diamond claimed he pulled out his pocket knife and threatened a man after he pulled his fiancee Amanda Schutz's hair as they celebrated Christmas in Port Washington.
He said: 'I opened my pocket knife and said, ''Let my wife go immediately,'' which worked.'
Diamond also demonstrated how his blade 'nicked' the arm of Casey Smett, 25.
'It was a Band-Aid, the most expensive Band-Aid I've ever bought,' Diamond said.
