LITTLE VALLEY – Marylou Johnson, 73, of Busti, the woman charged in connection with the death of Busti man Wilfredo Colon-Rodriguez, Jr., 48, will appear in Cattaraugus County Court later this month.

A court clerk told WNYNewsNow Friday morning that Johnson will have a Huntley Hearing at 2 p.m. on Jan. 22. A Huntley Hearing discusses the admissibility of statements made by police.
