Derranged was charged with possession of a switchblade, carrying a concealed weapon and recklessly endangering safety, according to police reports.
He was arrested in Ozaukee County outside Milwaukee. Georges told police he stabbed a man accidentally while defending his fiancee. Witnesses said the victim was stabbed under his armpit but was not in critical condition.
The victim was treated at a local hospital, law enforcement said.
Georges bail was set at $1,000 and he did not appear to have been released as of early Friday afternoon. Georges sister declined to comment to the Associated Press.
George, who played the geeky Screech Powers in the teen sitcom, lives in Port Washington and was sued in 2009 over non-payment of $2,079.40 in utility bills.
