Simpson was hospitalized in Pennsylvania on Sunday after he crashed a stolen car while fleeing police. He's also facing a variety of state charges in Pennsylvania.

Simpson is charged with leaving a Bradford drug abuse treatment center Jan. 4 and traveling to Manchester, New Hampshire, where the alleged kidnapping took place.
