The wheelchair-bound man accused of dragging a dead woman's body down a New York City street in a sleeping bag was seen holding onto a plastic urinal as he exited the police station.
Chad Irish, 55, gripped onto the portable male urinal as officers wheeled him out of the 13th Precinct in Manhattan to face murder charges in the death of Yazmeen Williams, whose body was found dumped outside with the trash last week.
Police say the 31-year-old woman was shot dead before her body was wrapped up and disposed of outside a building on East 27th Street.
Irish now faces charges of murder in the second-degree, criminal possession of a weapon and loaded firearm in the second-degree, as well as concealment of a human corpse.
Shocking surveillance footage obtained by CBS News shows a man in a motorized wheelchair - believed to be Irish - dragging along a sleeping bag on the street.

The NYPD responded to a report of a suspicious package amid trash in front of on 27th Street and Third Avenue in Kips Bay on the east side of Manhattan just before 5pm on Friday.
Inside, officers found Williams' corpse wrapped up in a sleeping bag, and the medical examiner later ruled that she died from a gunshot wound to the head.
Police later named Irish as a person of interest in the murder investigation, as she would sometimes stay at his house.
It is unclear if their relationship was romantic in nature.
Antowne Frazier, who grew up at the apartment complex where Irish lives, said he confronted Irish about the murder on Monday.
'I said, "What did you do with that young girl?"' he recounted to ABC 7. 'He said he "didn't do nothing to that young girl, I just brought some laundry down that was stinking in my house to drop it off."'
But Frazier said he had his doubts.
'I told him, I said, "You are a dead man, you shouldn't be around here,"' Frazier said.
'He said, "next time you see me, you should be worried about me," and that's when he brandished a gun.'

Frazier said Irish then walked away, but returned a few hours ago still flashing his gun.
As Irish made his way back to the apartment building, Frazier said he ran to call 911.
By the time police showed up, a frenzied mob was seen attacking the wheelchair-bound man as he was loaded into a police vehicle.
A crowd, including Williams' family, was waiting for the suspect as he was wheeled out of a building in a gurney.
As he emerged, a man shouted: 'Don't feed that f**king pr**k for weeks' while others yelled, 'Kill him!'.
The crowd pushed up against the glass door and began pounding the glass and screaming as Irish approached the vehicle.
The chaos only escalated further when Irish was brought outside, with cops struggling to hold back the surging crowd who yelled 'Come outside!'.
Police were soon overwhelmed however as the mob chased after him and began raining blows down on him.

A woman could be heard wailing as Irish tried to proclaim his innocence.
'You killed my daughter!' Williams' mom Nicole yelled as he was loaded into the van and the crowd continued to bang the sides of the vehicle.
'He looks like scum,' Nicole added while sobbing and struggling to catch her breath.
'They said she's dead. I fainted and the officer had to pick me up off the floor,' she told the New York Post.
'She's my baby. We got to get justice for her. She didn't deserve what happened to her.'

Officials have suggested Williams' body may have been left on the street for several hours before passerby Rian Robbins reported it - as others reported a stench in the area.
For her part, Robbins said she became suspicious of the package when she saw flies were circling it.
'I walked by and turned around, there were flies swarming all over it. And I saw what that looked like a ribcage,' Rian Robbins told AMNY.
They were cleaning out the building, so I was like maybe it's some old thing they threw out.'
Robbins said the body was left lying on what appeared to be a cart. 'It was on a rolling cart that was tied to the thing,' Robbins said.
'It was big and bloated like it had been in water.'
Horrified onlookers inside the lobby of a nearby building also filmed disturbing video of detectives cutting into the body bag on the street.
Ted Oehmke, who also witnessed cops slicing open the bag, gave gruesome details of what he saw to DailyMail.com.
'There was a hole cut in the top of the bag and what looked like the top of a head,' he said. 'I'd like to say I was shocked but I'm not. It's a sign of the times, that's all.'
'It looked like whoever did it went to a lot of trouble to make sure it was wrapped up and stuck out in the open,' Oehmke added.
'But I was pretty surprised to see it sitting there in the regular garbage as if sanitation was going to take it away.'
