Dustin Diamond Mugged
Dustin Diamond says a fan mugged him early Monday morning in Omaha, E! Online reports.
Diamond tells E! that he was performing at the Funny Bone comedy club Sunday night when he was approached by the fan. She later appeared at his hotel room, banging on the door until he opened it.
“I wake up and go to the bathroom and all of a sudden I hear this pound-pound-pound at the door. I look out and see this girl with her hair hung down and I didn’t put it together right away that it’s the girl at the club, ” Diamond told E!.
“And [around 3 a.m.] she’s at the door screaming, ‘Come on, Screech, my phone’s in there.’ And clearly just being a comedian, I’m like, ‘Yeah yeah where is it?’ ”
He didn’t let the woman in, but she was still in the hall when he left his room 45 minutes later to catch a flight.
“Somehow she got back in and is now holding a can of Mace up,” he recounted. “I’m freaked out and jump back and she says, ‘Where’s the money, come on, tell me where it is, and she’s trying to look through my bags,” Diamond says.
The fan eventually made off with a couple of the actor’s video games. He was able to call 911 and hotel security, but he got his games back before the police arrived.
The Omaha Police Department told E! that both parties were questioned, and that no charges have been laid.
