The woman involved in the alleged hit and run accident with Chris Brown says she was in fear because the singer "had a lot of tattoos."
Olga Gure-Kovalenko, the reigningMiss Russian L.A., told TMZ that she didn't recognize Brown and his body ink intimidated her.
"I was so afraid because he looked scary for me because it was a big car, he had a lot of tattoos, and I didn't know he was a celebrity. For me he looked kind of scary," Olga said.
She further added that her blood pressure shot up after Brown called her a b*tch. Olga also claims that Brown gave her expired insurance for a Lamborghini that he wasn't driving at the time and refused to give her his driver's license before he left the scene.
As we previously reported, Brown has been charged for driving without a valid license and hit and run in connection with the accident, which happened last month in Los Angeles. If it's determined that he violated his probation he could face up to four years in jail.

Science is a subject that can be boring at times to kids in school, but a pilot program in New York City has added rap to the mix and the results have been amazing.
In December 2012 a select group of NYC high schools took part in the program called Science Genius B.A.T.T.L.E.S. with the goal of encouraging science education through hip hop competition. The schools selected had not traditionally done well in science in the past.
"What we are doing now is just showing what we know already exist," said Chris Emdin, assistant professor of science education at the college. "Bringing hip-hop culture into the classroom and changing the game of education."
The 10 schools currently participating in the program are Bronx Compass, Ellis Preparatory Academy, The Marie Curie School, Park East High School, Hillside Arts, Brooklyn Community Arts and Media, August Martin High, Validus Prep, Urban Assembly School for the Performing Arts and Arts and Media Prep.
"Everybody can relate to hip hop. Not a lot of people can relate to science. So when you put them together it just becomes something beautiful," said one student.
Wu Tang Clan emcee GZA is encouraged by the progress the students are making.
"These kids are taking science and they're writing creative raps and they incorporate. So, they're also teaching while learning," GZA explained.
Educators are hoping to expand the program to more schools in the future.

Black Eyed Peas front man Will.i.am is taking legal action against Pharrell Williams. According to Rolling Stone, Will says he owns the copyright to the phrase "I Am," and claims in court documents that Pharrell's "I Am Other" brand "is likely to dilute the I AM mark and the WILL.I.AM mark."
Will further claims that Pharrell's logo used on his clothing and other merchandise are too similar to his own logo.
Pharrell responded to the lawsuit in a statement to Rolling Stone.
I am disappointed that Will, a fellow artist, would file a case against me. I am someone who likes to talk things out and, in fact, I attempted to do just that on many occasions. I am surprised in how this is being handled and I am confident that Will's trademark claims will ultimately be found to be as meritless and ridiculous as I do.
