Meth Maker Interrupted in the Middle of Cooking Up Batch at Braidwood House: Cops

A Braidwood man was in the middle of cooking up a batch of methamphetamine when the cops raided his home Friday night, police said.

Stanley Darrell Cochrane, 47, was arrested and booked into the Will County jail on charges of manufacturing or delivering methamphetamine and possessing methamphetamine.

Cochrane’s brother, 38-year-old Chad Michael Ferguson, was also arrested, police said. Ferguson was reportedly charged with possessing marijuana.

The Braidwood police — along with state police and the state’s meth response team — reportedly served a search warrant at Cochrane’s West Second Street home about 7 p.m. The Braidwood Fire Department stood by during the raid.

Officers seized 768 grams of methamphetamine and broke up two labs, police said, one of which was in use.
