A Lauderdale County man who has been convicted of previously making meth is back behind bars, again charged with making the drug.
 
Brian Bratschi, 43, of Henning faces several charges related to making and selling meth in Lauderdale County, according to the district attorney.  He was arrested Monday in Tipton County and also faces a count of possessing drug paraphernalia there.  Investigators said they found a wide array of ingredients and tools used to make meth during a search of his Lovelace Crossing home and a shed behind the house.  They also found waste from the operation scattered across a mile wide span behind the home near the Hatchie River area.
