The term Paddy Wagon actually goes back to the early 1700s in southern states when big tough unskilled Irish immigrants were hired to pursue runaway slaves or transport slaves to new owners or otherwise control defiant slaves. These men were called "Paddy Rollers". These Paddy Rollers were given horse drawn wagons to use to transport the slaves hence "Paddy Wagons".

A small green slip of paper with a lucky clover drawn on it left by Leprechauns on St Patricks’ day after they have outwitted the Leprechaun Trap laid out by a child. It is a token of appreciate from the Leprechaun for the child’s hard work, but a reminder that Paddy was not caught.
I found a fresh Paddy’s Luck Buck in my trap but he got away. I know he was here because he used my bathroom and took all my gold. I’ll get him next year!

Personally I’ve only heard my older family members (all Scouse) say this. Not sure on where this variant of the saying originated from but possibly North West England.
It means an area that’s cluttered, or “looks like a bombshell has hit it”.
