UTICA - A Utica woman pleaded not guilty to second degree manslaughter in Oneida County court Wednesday regarding the death of a Utica man in September.

Jodi Marris is accused of being under the influence of drugs when she allegedly struck and killed 48 year-old Peter Zacek while he was riding his bike on Route 12 in Deerfield.

The Oneida County District Attorney's Office has extended a plea offer to Marris; she's due back in court on July 16 to let the judge know if she wants to take the plea offer or go to trial.

Marris is currently free on bail.
