UPDATE: The Lyon County Sheriff's Office has identified the man accused of driving a semi-truck into the Moonlite Bunny Ranch as 40-year-old Brian Brandt of Reno.

He has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon, destruction of property of another, and possession of stolen property. Brandt is currently being held at the Detention Facility in Yerington.

Earlier reports from statements made at the scene indicated Brandt was a former employee of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch. But further investigation shows Brandt was never an employee of the business or any other brothel in Lyon County.

PREVIOUS STORY: One person has been arrested after crashing an 18-wheeler into the Moonlite Bunny Ranch near Carson City.

It happened at 3:45 a.m. on Thursday, May 25, 2017. Officials with the Lyon County Sheriff's Office say someone backed an 18-wheeler into the ranch located at 69 Moonlight Road.

No injuries were reported.

“It sounded like a bomb went off in here. Everything was shaking,” says employee Jenny Jade, who was sleeping just a few feet away when this happened.

Lyon County deputies quickly arrested a former employee of CT Trucking in Reno, and companies say that the man responsible, had already been wanted on another crime.

“He showed up at a central transport facility in Reno and viciously attacked an employee,” says Bill Chapman of Central Transport. “He had a bone sticking out of his forearm, and he didn’t even know him.”

The question still remains as to why this disgruntled former trucking employee targeted the Bunny Ranch. Owner Dennis Hof, has one theory.

“My guess is that it would be worldwide news,” Hof says. “He thought if he drove his truck into a brothel full of 35 hot girls it would be worldwide news.”
