• recognizing a purpose of the speedy indictment rule is to relieve the person of the anxiety associated with a suspended prosecution
• noting this is the most serious type of harm because a defendant’s inability to adequately prepare his case “skews the fairness of the entire system”
• finding reasonable person in Wing’s position would have believed an arrest occurred when they admitted possession of contraband
• finding it significant to the arrest analysis that the officer handcuffed Wing immediately after the officer acknowledged Wing’s admission to owning the marijuana in the car
• applying rule to a brief arrest at the scene of an automobile stop followed by release of custody with a plan that the person would become a confidential informant
• considering whether officer manifested a purpose to arrest in the absence of explicit statement
