I'll bet they hold him until Wednesday. They probably think it would be easier to control the crowds on Tuesday if he's not around.

Alex can get a crowd worked up. They may not have seen what the crowd might do if he's been arrested and held through an event such as this. I know it would be a mistake, but do they?

It is just a publicity ploy on his part.
He was well aware that a permit was required, and when the police arrived, he created a huge fuss rather than quietly fill out some paperwork. He WANTED a commotion and getting jailed allows him to claim it was a police state tactic. It was just his deliberate public disturbance.
Personally, I hope he gets more than a weekend in jail. Idiots like that should be kept off the street.
