Not sure about KY, but in AL and most other places indictments are handed down from a grand jury who usually hear evidence regarding felonies and determine whether or not there is enough evidence/probable cause to believe the accused has committed a crime. That would be seperate from simply not showing up for court which is a violation which carries little or no jail time. Call the jail and see what his charge is and go from there.

The warrant is probably because he had been summoned to court, and did not show up, to be questioned about your case.
They will just hold him until he agrees to cooperate with the court.
