Scott, IMO: the formal accusation would be the arrest?!?! Or are they talking indictment?!?! In some states, one can wave indictment proceedings... I wonder if our man givememygun did such?!?!

According to the form, an "information" is a formal accusation
by a prosecutor, so I don't think that the arrest alone qualifies.
But I wouldn't be surprised if a statement from the prosecutor that they intend to seek an indictment would qualify as an "information". The fact that the grand jury hasn't convened yet wouldn't matter - the prosecutor has formally accused the subject by announcing his intention to pursue indictment/trial.
