Former Saved By The Bell star Dustin Diamond has begun the prison sentence he received over a bar fight that involved a stabbing.
The actor who played Screech in the 1990s TV show was given four months in jail for the altercation in Wisconsin.
The website of Ozaukee County Jail, which is near Diamond's home in Port Washington, said Diamond was booked in on Friday.
The 38-year-old was convicted in May last year of two misdemeanour charges relating to the fight in the town on Christmas Day 2014.
He was found guilty of carrying a concealed weapon and disorderly conduct but was cleared of a felony charge.
Diamond told the trial he took out a knife at the bar to try and ward off people, including a woman who punched his girlfriend.
Witnesses said Diamond's girlfriend, Amanda Schutz, pushed one woman at the bar and grabbed another woman's hand, starting the fight.
Schutz was convicted of disorderly conduct in May and the judge fined her $500.
Diamond had been due to start his time in jail last summer, but a judge put the sentence on hold for an appeal. He withdrew his appeal last month.
Although famous during his time on the show, he made headlines again in 2013 when he entered the house in the UK programme Celebrity Big Brother.
He lasted 16 days inside before Geordie Shore's Charlotte Crosby was declared the eventual winner.
