A reputed Colombian drug lord facing charges in New York has asked to move to a different jail cell because he's claustrophobic.

A lawyer for Juan Carlos Ramirez Abadia asked a court to move his client from maximum security to the general population at the Metropolitan Detention Center because of the claustrophobia that has plagued him since he was a child.

Prosecutors allege that Ramirez Abadia led a deadly drug cartel that shipped $10 billion worth of cocaine into the United States between 1990 and 2003.

Extra points: His nickname is "Lollipop." That should go over big in gen pop.
