refused an officer's request by phone to pull over that night so that police could speak wit him and his passenger...visin's stepson sean crane. officers were searching for crane, because police say crane had smashed his truck into two cars, in a parking lot outside of the eagles club. police say crane left the scene before officers arrived. an officer then visited crane's home.. and learned from his wife that crane had left and was with visin . the officer spoke with visin over the phone in an attempt to get him to pull over. police say visin refused and continued driving because he wanted to drop off a trailer he was pulling at a location in town. despite being ordered to stop.. police say visin let his stepson out at a gas station police located crane walking along the road at the corner of 500th street southwest and oak crest hill road southeast in riverside. according to the incident report he was only wearing shorts... and had an obvious wound on his back. police say crane also had a blood- alcohol level nearly twice the

(inhale) ...they're inhaling them. (exhale) subway. fresh is what we do. utah is the epicenter of a 10 that employs thousands of people. they market products you can't buy in stores. they're called multi-level marketers, or m-l-ms. they have a force of independent

more independent sellers, each profiting from the people up the line. the biggest m-l-m's flood downtown salt lake city with thousands of visitors for their annual conventions. its the arena where the utah jazz play and music stars perform. its also the mecca of multi-level marketing conventions. if its august its usana, september- doterra, october-nu-skin, each attracting more than 10 thousand visitors to salt lake city. the rock stars here are buttoned up utah business executive wentz, ceo of vitamin giant usana. dave wentz, ceo, usana: "we can be proud of our past. but we can also look at now and say, 'wow.' outside the arena...many of us see the signs usana, young living, do terra, nuskin, morinda. we wonder what they are...how they make enough money for the office towers and sponsorships. they are multi-level marketers. selling products person to person, though it's hardly a mom and pop business in utah. case in point...this convention for usana. dan macuga, chief communications officer, usana : "there's over 10,000 people this year so it's one of our biggest years and they are individual business owners, but really you think of

company here and we have over a thousand employees right here in salt lake. usana and nuskin are on the stock exchange... usana brought in 890 million dollars last year. anti aging products company nuskin, with this giant new headquarters in provo, reported revenue over two billion dollars. the industry big enough to exercise clout in utah politics. us congressman jason chaffetz got his career start at nu-skin...and now nuskin is fueling his aspirations in the u-s house of representatives. chaffetz has a political action committee or pac called budget hawks dot com. in 2014 chaffetz spent 121 thousand dollars from the fund. some went to colleagues, a lot to the republican party, some to travel and fundraising costs. the two biggest donors...nu skin and essential oils seller doterra. rep. jason chaffetz, utah: "doterra, is a special organization. utah's big mlms have been generous to the republican and democratic parties. congresswoman mia love endorses doterra wholeheartedly. rep. mia love, utah: everyone in my family loves the oils." doterra, nuskin, and

and to their network of distributors is a quality product. an important point because the vast majority of those distributors do not make money. for example. usana's 2014 numbers show they had 61,400 members in the u.s. they call them associates. close to two-thirds made no sales commission. about 80 associates made six figures. that's just over one in a thousand, or point one three percent. put it another way...if you have a kid playing high school baseball, he has twice the odds to make it to the pros as he does making six figures with usana. mila zeng's getting close. mila zeng, usana associate: " i have never catch a cold since i take usana products." zeng is a natural saleswoman...selling usana in alaska. she's recruited more than a hundred other members. she's a team leader getting money from their sales, as does her team leader and her team leader's team leader up the line. she's what usana calls a gold director...meaning she's one of the top one percent of usana distributors...gold directors average commissions of 66 thousand dollars a year. mila zeng, usana associate: "my future goal gonna be diamond." diamond would mean mila had 500 distributors below her and would

about $5000 a week. but for every mila zeng, there are hundreds of distributors earning nothing or next to nothing. if the companies are right...most aren't trying to earn anything. the question...how many people come close to losing everything? people like nicole lopez. nicole lopez, springville resident: "guess what? i'm still paying that debt, we're ten years later i'm still paying it." ed ad lib weather tease on set coming up -- updates on
