The Moonlight BunnyRanch brothel is in the news again, this time for a shooting and police standoff which occurred on Monday evening.

According to My News 4, a woman, identified as a "female worker at Moonlight BunnyRanch" was arrested on Tuesday morning after a standoff that began around 9:30 p.m. on Monday evening. According to the report, the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office answered a call about "shots fired" and heard "several more gunshots" upon arrival. They determined that "one employee had fired a gun and then retreated into a room,"

The SWAT team then responded and the brothel was evacuated.

The police revealed that 28-year-old Savannah Henderson (AKA Tiara Tae) surrendered just after midnight and was arrested. She is facing "four felony counts of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, one felony count of possessing a controlled substance, one gross misdemeanor count of discharging a firearm, and one count of obstructing/resisting a peace officer" the outlet reported.

Her bail has been set at $86,140.

The brothel is well-known due to an HBO series featuring the business which aired from 2005 to 2007. Its also been featured in various other TV shows and news articles. It's located just outside of the state's capitol.

No injuries have been reported.

Prostitution is legal in Nevada, though it must take place in licensed brothels and in one of the 10 approved counties. Clark County and Wshoes County (where Las Vegas and Reno are located) have banned prostitution outright, according to The Defenders.

LOOK: Fans react to rare full body photo of Meri Brown

Meri Brown, the first wife of Kody Brown shares selfies often on her social media account but on May 24, she shared a rare full-body snap that delighted her followers. The photo was accompanied by an inspirational caption, "What is it they say? If your dreams and goals don't scare you, they aren't big enough! So many times we shrink and hide from the thing we want most, because it's big and scary, or seems like too much work, or we're too old or too young, or don't have enough experience, or we're not good enough," she wrote. "Those are all just lies we tell ourselves so we can live in the comfort of mediocrity. But mediocrity isn't what's going to make those dreams come true, or help us on our path to hit those big goals. What we really need to do is learn to dance with the fear. Lean in to the feeling and emotion of fear, because it's only when we face it and embrace it that magic happens. Lean in to the dance, learn new steps and swing to the rhythm. Lean in to your moment and live it loud and proud! You got this!"
