The lawyer for the Ecuadorian pizza deliveryman who was arrested again after being detained earlier this year says the case against his client is weak and that factual allegations didn’t match the crime charged.

Villavicencio’s lawyer, Bruce Barket, said the case “wouldn’t make it two weeks in criminal court if it weren’t for the attention.”

Villavicencio was detained on June 1 after delivering pizza to the Fort Hamilton Army base in Brooklyn. He was seeking to establish legal residency and overcome a 2010 order to leave the country.
