You Tell Us: Where Was Screech Mugged?

August 10, 2006 at 2:24 PM | 0 Comments

If you hadn't heard, Dustin Diamond aka Screech from "Saved by the Bell" was mugged the other day in a west Omaha hotel.

Diamond said the woman grabbed some video games, and he held her against the hotel room door until police arrived.

Deeming it a case of "He Said, She Said", Omaha police no charges have been filed. Blah, blah, blah. What we really care about is where do former child stars with trouble making their mortgage payments stay when they are on the road touring with an 18-and-older standup comedy show?

Even though Dustin detailed the incident on a Tampa radio show, he didn't say where he was staying. Nor did any other news reports we came across. (They would only say a hotel in west Omaha.)

Perhaps Dustin was staying in a low-budget motel? When we looked at TripAdvisor for some west Omaha hotels, all we found were a Holiday Inn, a Hilton Garden Inn, a Comfort Suites, a Clarion and a couple of Super 8s.

So if you are a Dustin Diamond fan and have been following him on his "tour", let us know where he stayed. Otherwise, comment below on which type of motel you think would Screech prefer.
