That is not true. A person can be arrested, although each county seems to have different methods for enforcing these subpoenas. The officer will usually either bring that person to court and order them to fill out the subpoena in court on penalty of contempt if they do not, or, as happened in one of my collection cases recently, they will order the person to fill it out in front of them in their own home or have them arrested if they do not.
