Pasqual, who has starred in guest roles on TV shows such as “How I Met Your Mother” and “Archive 81,” allegedly fled the scene before being captured at a US-Mexico border checkpoint in Texas, prosecutors said.
Pasqual, 34, is charged with attempted murder, first-degree residential burglary with a person present, and causing injury to a spouse, cohabitant, fiancรฉ, boyfriend, girlfriend, or child’s parent, according to prosecutors. Prosecutors have not set a date for the arraignment.

“This heinous incident is a stark reminder of the dangers of domestic violence,” said Gascรณn. “We will hold the individual responsible for this egregious act accountable.”
