The infamous Moonlight Bunny Ranch Brothel has been destroyed after a man wearing body armor plowed a 'stolen' big rig into the brothel as owner Dennis Hof calls it 'a terrorist act on the friendliest place on Earth'.

The incident happened around 4am Thursday in Mound House, Nevada when police say Brian Brandt plowed the huge truck straight through the Bunny Ranch's front gate and into the front door.

Police arrested Brandt and charged him with two felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon, a felony count of destroying property and a felony count of possession of property valued at $3500 or more. 

His bail is currently set at $95,000 and he is being held at the Yerington Detention Facility.

The truck smashed through the front gates and into the front of the building 

Hof told DailyMail.com that Brandt was wearing full body armor, a mask and helmet at the time of the incident which he calls 'brutal.' 

'He stole a truck full of Amazon Prime products and boxes and came to my Bunny ranch and destroyed our building, in full body armor and a mask,' Hof told DailyMail.com.

'No one knows him, none of the girls said he was a customer.'

The trucking company, Central Transport LLC, said Brandt was a former employee. 

The company said a manager found a semi-truck missing early Thursday morning, and that the truck's number matches the one stolen.

The Director of Community Relations for Central Transport Mickey Blashfield told the Reno Gazette-Journal: 'He showed up early this morning at the terminal and commandeered a truck.

Owner Dennis Hof owner said that at the time of the crash, he was inside the BunnyRanch asleep. 'It woke me up, I got my gun and went out there. It was a terrorist act at the friendliest place on Earth,' Hof said (damage pictured)

Hof (center in 2008 with his Bunnies) said: 'So far, it thankfully appears to be only property damage. But, who knows what was happening during that time before he crashed or what his ultimate intentions were.'

'The next thing we heard was a call from the Bunny Ranch about an incident taking place there.

'So far, it thankfully appears to be only property damage. But, who knows what was happening during that time before he crashed or what his ultimate intentions were.'

Hof said that at the time of the crash, he was inside the Bunny Ranch asleep.

'It woke me up, I got my gun and went out there. It was a terrorist act at the friendliest place on Earth,' Hof said while sounding upset and angry.

'We don't know why this happened. It's brutal, absolutely brutal what's going on.'

Hof said no one was hurt, including the five employees, 30 female prostitutes and 10 customers in the building.

The 70-year-old brothel owner said that some of the girls were 'having sex when this happened.'

Hof estimates that over $100,000 in damage was caused at the Bunny Ranch (pictured above in 2008)

Despite the massive hole in the front of the Ranch, Hof said it will still be open for business and serve free drinks for the inconvenience. 

He estimates that over $100,000 in damage was caused at the Bunny Ranch, which opened for business 1955 and was featured on the HBO series Cathouse. 

This is not Brandt's first run-in with the law. He arrested just last week on May 17 and booked into the Washoe County jail on two charges including conspiracy to destroy another's property and battery.  

Ex-NBA player Lamar Odom consumed a mystery cocktail of drinks and drugs before being found unconscious inside a suite at Hof's Love Ranch Vegas brothel in 2015.

Hof employs more than 500 women across his seven bordellos in Nevada, where prostitution is legal in the state.
