Apparently Dustin has been subjected to more harassment than we thought. According to this article, Dustin has called the police numerous times when people were harassing him at his home. Maybe he'll never live down the old Screech role.

Here's an excerpt from the article:
. . .
When I showed up, the blinds were all drawn pretty tight and, although his girlfriend answered, she quickly came out on the front porch and closed the door behind her so I didn't even ask, particularly since I hadn't paid my $15. Plus, to be honest, I didn't want anyone to call the police.
Screech, you see, has been known to do that. He, or somebody at his address, has made no fewer than six calls to the Port Washington Police Department since moving there in July 2003.
• On July 16, 2003, according to a police report, he said "he was on a television show for many years and in the four days of living in the city, he is already having problems with younger-aged people driving past his residence continuously" and yelling.
• Two days later, he reported that somebody yelled from a truck that they were going to get him.
• On July 20, 2003, he added that somebody in a car threatened to kick his butt.
The kids admitted calling out his name but one of them told police he was shocked Diamond had made that claim. He said, actually, "he was really excited about seeing Diamond because he had never seen a celebrity before and wanted his autograph" and added that he did not want Diamond "to think that the city that he had just moved into had bad people."
• On July 24, 2003, Diamond made a report about two young males. They conceded walking 10 steps onto his property and were cited for trespassing.
• In March 2005, Diamond told police somebody rang his doorbell and took off and possibly threw something at the house.
Intentionally bringing national media attention to your house after all that seems a little odd.
Only once so far, though, has the place actually been infiltrated.
On Aug. 11, 2003, according to a police report, Diamond "called the station requesting assistance with some pink, hairless babies in his garage."
"Officer Keller responded and put the baby mice in the Diamond yard."
