PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS/AP) Anna Kournikova, the sometimes tennis star, sometimes model, might be visiting her mother in jail in the near future.

Alla Kournikova, 46, has been arrested in Florida and charged with child neglect after allegedly leaving her 5-year-old son home alone while she ran errands Tuesday, a Palm Beach police report says.

The boy told police he jumped out of a second-story window, but was not seriously injured. Someone passing by the home found the boy and called for help.

Police said Alla Kournikova locked the home with a deadbolt and officers had to get inside through a second-story window.

She was released from the Palm Beach County Jail after posting a $3,000 bond.

Online records and the police report did not list an attorney. A phone number listed for an Alla Kournikova in Palm Beach has been disconnected.

Anna Kournikova is now retired from tennis.

She was once voted "hottest female athlete" on ESPN.com, and was named one of People's 50 Most Beautiful People in 1998, 2000, 2002, and 2003.
