That's not going to help those first day jitters

Man, talk about getting off to a really bad start:

An officer’s squad car was nearly totaled in a crash less than a half hour into his first day on the city police force.

Officer Tim Pochron was inside his house early Monday when someone smashed into his new squad car parked outside.

“Pochron was 29 minutes into the first day of his new job when his parked squad car was struck,” Hobart police Lt. Steve Houck said.

A Crown Point man had driven his car into a tree and Pochron’s car, police said. The man tested positive for drugs, was arrested and taken to a hospital.

What I want to know is, if this guy was half an hour into his brand new job, what was he doing at home?
