	Premier's White charged with 3 felonies Cory Schouten -  cschouten@ibj.com IBJ staff The Marion County Prosecutor's Office today filed three felony charges against Christopher P. White, the founder of bankrupt development firm Premier Properties USA Inc. The charges include fraud on a financial institution, check fraud and theft-all Class C Felonies stemming from a $500,000 bad check that authorities say White deposited into an account with The National Bank of Indianapolis in January. The check was drawn on an account at JP Morgan Chase that never had a balance of more than $1,000, the prosecutor's office said. White, 50, will be arrested and faces an initial hearing later this week, said Matthew Symons, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office. Premier, the developer of Metropolis mall in Plainfield and several other retail projects across the United States, is being liquidated in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case. Premier and its founder are facing numerous lawsuits alleging unpaid bills, defaulted loans and check fraud-trouble that began to mount last year as credit-market turmoil put a stop to easy credit.  This story will be updated at IBJ.com.
