A parolee with a lengthy rap sheet has been taken into custody and charged after a Big Apple woman was found shot dead, wrapped in a sleeping bag and dumped outside with the trash, police sources told The Post Tuesday.

Chad Irish, 55, was slapped with concealment of a human corpse, criminal possession of a weapon and menacing charges after being brought in for questioning on Monday over the death of 31-year-old Yazmeen Williams, the sources said.

He hasn’t been hit with any homicide charges tied to the 31-year-old victim’s gruesome slaying.

Irish, who was out on parole for a Bronx robbery at the time, has 21 priors to his name, the sources added.

It comes after the person of interest was mobbed by dozens of angry locals on Monday when cops hauled him in for questioning over Williams’ death.
