James Hannon

Judge James E. Hannon served in the Lee District Courts in Massachusetts throughout the 1950's and 1960's. In 1969, Judge Hannon portrayed himself in the movie Alice's Restaurant. Like the song goes, he was the blind judge who found Arlo Guthrie guilty of littering and made him pay a small fine for the crime. He owned a seeing eye dog Susie that would accompany him in the courtroom. Both played themselves in the movie.
