Relatives say Ivery has intellectual disabilities. And a judge later released Ivery from jail , saying he does not pose a threat to the community.

There is a court hearing later Friday on the motion to dismiss charges.

Earlier this week, charges were dropped against three other people arrested during that same protest.
