Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Indiana

Body Attachment for FTA on small claims

can the court issue a body attachment for me on a small claims case, over a hospital bill for failure to appear

when I am living in another state. In other words will they arrest me in wyoming from Indiana on this body attachment?
