(LANSING) – A Union City man is going to trial on multiple charges.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessell says that 67 year old David White has been bound over on charges of criminal enterprise, embezzlement and tax evasion.

White became the co-trustee of his father’s trust, the John Sterling White Trust when his father died in 2014. Within the revenue stream of the Trust is The Winery Office Building in downtown Farmington. Though John White left behind several adult children, the assets held in the Trust were never distributed to the several beneficiaries due to ongoing litigation, and David White maintained control over the income, expenses, and access to financial records of the Trust.

David White was removed as co-trustee in 2019 by the probate court due to non-compliance with court orders to produce financial accountings for the Trust, and an investigation was subsequently conducted by the Department of Attorney General.

It is alleged by the State that David White embezzled over $300,000 from the Trust between 2014 and 2019. He is charged with one count of Conducting a Criminal Enterprise, a 20-year felony; Two counts of Embezzlement by an Agent/Trustee of $50,000 to $100,000 or more, a 15-year felony; One count of Embezzlement by an Agent/Trustee of $1,000-$20,000, a 5-year felony; and Six counts of Taxes – Failure to File.

White is scheduled to be in the 6th Circuit Court in Oakland County for arraignment on a date that has yet to be set.
