UPDATE: Savannah Henderson claims authorities dropped charges against her for a shooting at Nevada’s Moonlite Bunny Ranch. But the Lyon County Sheriff\u2019s Department told the New York Post<\/em> this week that the charges have not been dropped.<\/strong><\/p>\n

EARLIER:<\/strong> The reputed sex worker who was arrested early Tuesday after a shooting spree and multihour standoff with cops at Nevada\u2019s Moonlite Bunny Ranch<\/a> is now claiming she is innocent of the violent charges.<\/p>\n

Savannah Henderson<\/a>, 28, of Dayton, Nev., proclaimed on her Twitter account at about 10 p.m. PT Tuesday that charges against her were dropped and that she was \u201cfalsely accused.\u201d<\/p>\n

Henderson revealed her status in a tweet to her many followers: \u201cI\u2019m free to walk and roam!” Her claims that charges against her were dropped couldn’t be immediately confirmed by Casino.org<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Henderson allegedly repeatedly fired a gun in the Mound House, Nev. legal brothel at about 9:30 p.m. on Monday. She then hid inside a nearby room. She voluntarily surrendered to cops at about 12:30 a.m. on Tuesday. Officers had tried to negotiate with her for about three hours as she stayed inside the reportedly locked room.<\/p>\n

Henderson was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a controlled substance, discharging a firearm where others may be endangered, and obstructing\/resisting a peace officer, according to news reports. She said in a tweet she uses “weed” — an apparent reference to marijuana.<\/p>\n

A short time after her surrender, she was booked at Nevada\u2019s Lyon County Jail.<\/p>\n

She was released later on Tuesday after posting an $86,140 bond, the New York Post <\/em>reported. She said in a tweet she paid the bond “immediately.”<\/p>\n

After she got out of jail, Henderson tweeted, \u201cy\u2019all thought you got me lol.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lyon County Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies and officers from multiple departments — as well as Nevada state troopers and a SWAT team — responded to the crime scene. So, too, did EMTs.<\/p>\n

The initial incident may have been linked to a dispute between two workers at the brothel, according to information provided to the sheriff’s office by brothel management.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No one was injured by the gunfire, and it’s unclear if the brothel was damaged by bullets. The commotion forced the brothel\u2019s evacuation for a couple of hours.<\/p>\n

The Moonlite Bunny Ranch is located some six miles east of Carson City, Nev. It opened in 1955 and was formerly owned by Dennis Hof<\/a>, who died in 2018.<\/p>\n

Henderson is repeatedly described as a sex worker in media reports. She also reportedly appeared on the March 2019 cover of Hustler<\/em> magazine. Professionally, she is known as \u201cTiara Tae,\u201d \u201cThe Mean Girl,\u201d and \u201cBully Barbie.\u201d<\/p>\n

On her personal website, Henderson describes herself \u201cAs a tall, blonde buxom woman that literally exudes sensuality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former Colleague Calls Her a Bully<\/h2>\n

One self-described former Moonlite Bunny Ranch worker, Alexa Haze, said on Twitter that Henderson is a \u201cCrazy bully barbie bitch arrested for shooting at another co-worker. The total f****ng nutcase.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bullied other ladies for years. Attacked other,\u201d<\/strong> Haze said. \u201cI witnessed when i worked there. Crazy bitch was never dealt with by management.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Henderson’s professional profile on the ranch’s website was removed on Tuesday, the UK’s DailyMail.com<\/em> reported. Since her arrest, Henderson has received extensive attention in the media and online.<\/p>\n
