A police spokeswoman said investigators believe Mr O’Donnell, who is known to frequent the Ballarat area, was behind the wheel of a car when it travelled along the mall in the centre of Melbourne in an alleged attempt to evade police, about 4.55pm on January 28.
The spokeswoman said police had attempted to pull over a green Mitsubishi Lancer on Swanston Street in relation to a traffic incident, when the driver fled.
