Maury Phillips / WireImageHollywood actor Nick Pascal, 36, is facing life behind bars after a jury found him guilty of a vicious attack that left his girlfriend bleeding out in her Sunland, California home. Pascal was found guilty of attempted murder, first-degree residential burglary with a person present, and injuring a spouse, cohabitant, fiancé, boyfriend, girlfriend or child’s parent, in a California court on Friday.

Pascal stabbed Allie Shehorn, his estranged girlfriend more than 20 times in a violent, frenzied attack on May 23, 2024. “I locked the door and he just started punching holes in that door and broke that open, and I just ran into the bathroom because I thought there’s another lock on that door,” Shehorn said in court. Shehorn’s roommate found her and administered life saving first aid. Shehorn had a restraining order in place at the time of the attack, and had endured previous assaults from Pascal. Pascal, who guest-starred as a background actor on an episode of How I Met Your Mother in 2011, attempted to flee to Mexico after the brutal assault, but was caught before crossing the border in Texas. He now faces a possible lifetime in jail, the maximum penalty. Read it at The Daily MailRead more at The Daily Beast.
