Nick Pasqual, who appeared on How I Met Your Mother and Archive 81 and later produced on the comedy series National Day Riff, has been extradited from Texas to Los Angeles and has pled not guilty to attempted murder for stabbing his girlfriend.

Pasqual allegedly stabbed her multiple times after breaking into her home in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Sunland around 4:30 a.m. on May 23, according to prosecutors.

She was left critically injured and had to be hospitalized.

Pasqual fled the state. A warrant was issued for his arrest, and he was detained at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas, the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office said.

He has been charged with one count each of attempted murder, first-degree residential burglary with a person present, and injuring a spouse, cohabitant, fiancé, boyfriend, girlfriend or child’s parent. A warrant was issued for his arrest after he allegedly went on the run.

On Thursday, he pled not guilty at a San Fernando courtroom after landing at LAX a day earlier. He was ordered to be held without bail, with his next court date set for July 16.

Prosecutors have said he faces a maximum possible sentence of life in state prison if convicted of all charges.

The victim, identified by the Los Angeles Times as make-up artist Allie Shehorn, had a restraining order filed against Pasqual at the time.

Shehorn has worked as a makeup artist on the films Mean Girls, Babylon and Rebel Moon.
