Gary Tison was sentenced to life imprisonment as the result of a prison escape during the course of which he had killed a guard. After he had been in prison a number of years, Gary Tisons wife, their three sons Donald, Ricky, and Raymond, Garys brother Joseph, and other relatives made plans to help Gary Tison escape again. The Tison family assembled a large armory of weapons for this purpose. Plans for escape were discussed with Gary Tison, who insisted that his cellmate, Randy Greenawalt, also a convicted murderer, be included in the prison break.
On July 30, 1978, the three Tison brothers entered the Arizona State Prison at Florence carrying a large ice chest filled with guns. The Tison’s armed Greenawalt and their father, and the group, brandishing their weapons, locked the prison guards and visitors present in a storage closet. The five men fled the prison grounds in the Tison’s Ford Galaxy automobile. ...
As Raymond showed John Lyons the flat tire on the Lincoln, the other Tison’s and Greenawalt emerged. ... Raymond and Donald drove the Lincoln down a dirt road off the highway and then down a gas line service road farther into the desert; Gary Tison, Ricky Tison, and Randy Greenawalt followed in the Lyons Mazda. ... The Tison’s transferred their belongings from the Lincoln into the Mazda. ...
Gary Tison then told Raymond to drive the Lincoln still farther into the desert. Raymond did so, and, while the others guarded the Lyons and Theresa Tyson, Gary fired his shotgun into the radiator, presumably to completely disable the vehicle. ... John Lyons asked the Tison’s and Greenawalt to just give them some water and leave them and they wouldn’t tell anyone about them.
