A man has today told how he woke up in a car with an alleged Finks bikie gang member surrounded by police before officers opened fire on them.

Wayne Glover told the Melbourne Magistrates Court he had been asleep in the passenger seat of a Jeep Grand Cherokee when police smashed his side window in Sherlock Road, Croydon, before the alleged bikie, Patrick McMillan, drove off at speed to try to avoid arrest.

Police claim McMillan drove straight at police, prompting three officers to fire between three to five gunshots.

McMillan was arrested after he crashed through bushes and over an embankment, coming to rest on a railway line.

He had been wanted by police after allegedly shooting another man at Ferntree Gully eight days earlier.

Glover was one of four witnesses to be subpoenaed to give evidence today by the Office of Public Prosecutions. An arrest warrant was issued for one witness, Ryan Smyth, who failed to appear.

McMillan, 28, is facing 35 charges including firing a pistol at Peter Shackleton and recklessly causing him serious injury on August 19 last year.

Glover told the court today he had been dragged from his home at knifepoint by McMillan and ordered into the 4WD on August 27.

He said McMillan was trying to stand over him for money and was “going absolutely psycho” in the 4WD, giving him backhanders as they drove away.

Glover did not remember much of what happened next, claiming he might have suffered concussion or been given a Xanex in his drink, except he woke up in a daze to find the 4WD parked and surrounded by police.

Police opened fire on the 4WD when McMillan took off and crashed into a police car, but Glover denied McMillan had a gun with him at the time.

Another witness, Rachel Osborn, told the court she had been living with McMillan at Ferntree Gully when they came home at about 8pm on August 19 to be confronted by Shackleton.

Ms Osborn claimed Shackleton had a gun in his pocket and jumped on McMillan, saying: “I’ve got to do this this, I’ve got to do this.”

She said during the struggle two shots were fired and Shackleton was wounded before running off.

Ms Osborn denied a suggestion from prosecutor Peter Rose, SC, that McMillan had been the one armed with the pistol.

Asked if McMillan was a member of the notorious Finks bikie gang, Ms Osborn said his father had connections to the gang but not McMillan.

A committal hearing for McMillan will be heard on March 6.

Police claim McMillan drove straight at police, prompting three officers to fire between three to five gunshots.

McMillan was arrested after he crashed through bushes and over an embankment, coming to rest on a railway line.

He had been wanted by police after allegedly shooting another man at Ferntree Gully eight days earlier.

Glover was one of four witnesses to be subpoenaed to give evidence today by the Office of Public Prosecutions. An arrest warrant was issued for one witness, Ryan Smyth, who failed to appear.

McMillan, 28, is facing 35 charges including firing a pistol at Peter Shackleton and recklessly causing him serious injury on August 19 last year.

Glover told the court today he had been dragged from his home at knifepoint by McMillan and ordered into the 4WD on August 27.

He said McMillan was trying to stand over him for money and was “going absolutely psycho” in the 4WD, giving him backhanders as they drove away.

Glover did not remember much of what happened next, claiming he might have suffered concussion or been given a Xanex in his drink, except he woke up in a daze to find the 4WD parked and surrounded by police.

Police opened fire on the 4WD when McMillan took off and crashed into a police car, but Glover denied McMillan had a gun with him at the time.

Another witness, Rachel Osborn, told the court she had been living with McMillan at Ferntree Gully when they came home at about 8pm on August 19 to be confronted by Shackleton.

Ms Osborn claimed Shackleton had a gun in his pocket and jumped on McMillan, saying: “I’ve got to do this this, I’ve got to do this.”

She said during the struggle two shots were fired and Shackleton was wounded before running off.

Ms Osborn denied a suggestion from prosecutor Peter Rose, SC, that McMillan had been the one armed with the pistol.

Asked if McMillan was a member of the notorious Finks bikie gang, Ms Osborn said his father had connections to the gang but not McMillan.

A committal hearing for McMillan will be heard on March 6.

Police claim McMillan drove straight at police, prompting three officers to fire between three to five gunshots.

McMillan was arrested after he crashed through bushes and over an embankment, coming to rest on a railway line.

He had been wanted by police after allegedly shooting another man at Ferntree Gully eight days earlier.

Glover was one of four witnesses to be subpoenaed to give evidence today by the Office of Public Prosecutions. An arrest warrant was issued for one witness, Ryan Smyth, who failed to appear.

McMillan, 28, is facing 35 charges including firing a pistol at Peter Shackleton and recklessly causing him serious injury on August 19 last year.

Glover told the court today he had been dragged from his home at knifepoint by McMillan and ordered into the 4WD on August 27.

He said McMillan was trying to stand over him for money and was “going absolutely psycho” in the 4WD, giving him backhanders as they drove away.

Glover did not remember much of what happened next, claiming he might have suffered concussion or been given a Xanex in his drink, except he woke up in a daze to find the 4WD parked and surrounded by police.

Police opened fire on the 4WD when McMillan took off and crashed into a police car, but Glover denied McMillan had a gun with him at the time.

Another witness, Rachel Osborn, told the court she had been living with McMillan at Ferntree Gully when they came home at about 8pm on August 19 to be confronted by Shackleton.

Ms Osborn claimed Shackleton had a gun in his pocket and jumped on McMillan, saying: “I’ve got to do this this, I’ve got to do this.”

She said during the struggle two shots were fired and Shackleton was wounded before running off.

Ms Osborn denied a suggestion from prosecutor Peter Rose, SC, that McMillan had been the one armed with the pistol.

Asked if McMillan was a member of the notorious Finks bikie gang, Ms Osborn said his father had connections to the gang but not McMillan.

A committal hearing for McMillan will be heard on March 6.

Police claim McMillan drove straight at police, prompting three officers to fire between three to five gunshots.

McMillan was arrested after he crashed through bushes and over an embankment, coming to rest on a railway line.

He had been wanted by police after allegedly shooting another man at Ferntree Gully eight days earlier.

Glover was one of four witnesses to be subpoenaed to give evidence today by the Office of Public Prosecutions. An arrest warrant was issued for one witness, Ryan Smyth, who failed to appear.

McMillan, 28, is facing 35 charges including firing a pistol at Peter Shackleton and recklessly causing him serious injury on August 19 last year.

Glover told the court today he had been dragged from his home at knifepoint by McMillan and ordered into the 4WD on August 27.

He said McMillan was trying to stand over him for money and was “going absolutely psycho” in the 4WD, giving him backhanders as they drove away.

Glover did not remember much of what happened next, claiming he might have suffered concussion or been given a Xanex in his drink, except he woke up in a daze to find the 4WD parked and surrounded by police.

Police opened fire on the 4WD when McMillan took off and crashed into a police car, but Glover denied McMillan had a gun with him at the time.

Another witness, Rachel Osborn, told the court she had been living with McMillan at Ferntree Gully when they came home at about 8pm on August 19 to be confronted by Shackleton.

Ms Osborn claimed Shackleton had a gun in his pocket and jumped on McMillan, saying: “I’ve got to do this this, I’ve got to do this.”

She said during the struggle two shots were fired and Shackleton was wounded before running off.

Ms Osborn denied a suggestion from prosecutor Peter Rose, SC, that McMillan had been the one armed with the pistol.

Asked if McMillan was a member of the notorious Finks bikie gang, Ms Osborn said his father had connections to the gang but not McMillan.

A committal hearing for McMillan will be heard on March 6.

Police claim McMillan drove straight at police, prompting three officers to fire between three to five gunshots.

McMillan was arrested after he crashed through bushes and over an embankment, coming to rest on a railway line.

He had been wanted by police after allegedly shooting another man at Ferntree Gully eight days earlier.

Glover was one of four witnesses to be subpoenaed to give evidence today by the Office of Public Prosecutions. An arrest warrant was issued for one witness, Ryan Smyth, who failed to appear.

McMillan, 28, is facing 35 charges including firing a pistol at Peter Shackleton and recklessly causing him serious injury on August 19 last year.

Glover told the court today he had been dragged from his home at knifepoint by McMillan and ordered into the 4WD on August 27.

He said McMillan was trying to stand over him for money and was “going absolutely psycho” in the 4WD, giving him backhanders as they drove away.

Glover did not remember much of what happened next, claiming he might have suffered concussion or been given a Xanex in his drink, except he woke up in a daze to find the 4WD parked and surrounded by police.

Police opened fire on the 4WD when McMillan took off and crashed into a police car, but Glover denied McMillan had a gun with him at the time.

Another witness, Rachel Osborn, told the court she had been living with McMillan at Ferntree Gully when they came home at about 8pm on August 19 to be confronted by Shackleton.

Ms Osborn claimed Shackleton had a gun in his pocket and jumped on McMillan, saying: “I’ve got to do this this, I’ve got to do this.”

She said during the struggle two shots were fired and Shackleton was wounded before running off.

Ms Osborn denied a suggestion from prosecutor Peter Rose, SC, that McMillan had been the one armed with the pistol.

Asked if McMillan was a member of the notorious Finks bikie gang, Ms Osborn said his father had connections to the gang but not McMillan.

A committal hearing for McMillan will be heard on March 6.

Police claim McMillan drove straight at police, prompting three officers to fire between three to five gunshots.

McMillan was arrested after he crashed through bushes and over an embankment, coming to rest on a railway line.

He had been wanted by police after allegedly shooting another man at Ferntree Gully eight days earlier.

Glover was one of four witnesses to be subpoenaed to give evidence today by the Office of Public Prosecutions. An arrest warrant was issued for one witness, Ryan Smyth, who failed to appear.

McMillan, 28, is facing 35 charges including firing a pistol at Peter Shackleton and recklessly causing him serious injury on August 19 last year.

Glover told the court today he had been dragged from his home at knifepoint by McMillan and ordered into the 4WD on August 27.

He said McMillan was trying to stand over him for money and was “going absolutely psycho” in the 4WD, giving him backhanders as they drove away.

Glover did not remember much of what happened next, claiming he might have suffered concussion or been given a Xanex in his drink, except he woke up in a daze to find the 4WD parked and surrounded by police.

Police opened fire on the 4WD when McMillan took off and crashed into a police car, but Glover denied McMillan had a gun with him at the time.

Another witness, Rachel Osborn, told the court she had been living with McMillan at Ferntree Gully when they came home at about 8pm on August 19 to be confronted by Shackleton.

Ms Osborn claimed Shackleton had a gun in his pocket and jumped on McMillan, saying: “I’ve got to do this this, I’ve got to do this.”

She said during the struggle two shots were fired and Shackleton was wounded before running off.

Ms Osborn denied a suggestion from prosecutor Peter Rose, SC, that McMillan had been the one armed with the pistol.

Asked if McMillan was a member of the notorious Finks bikie gang, Ms Osborn said his father had connections to the gang but not McMillan.

A committal hearing for McMillan will be heard on March 6.
