I knew Familia sound Familiar due to something other than baseball...

From Wikipedia:

On October 31, 2016, Familia was arrested on a domestic violence charge in Fort Lee, New Jersey.[52] On December 15, the charge was dismissed due to lack of evidence. The October arrest was also expunged from his record.[53] Familia was only suspended for fifteen games after he and his wife cooperated with an investigation by the league which failed to find that he "physically assaulted his wife, or threatened her or others with physical force or harm, on October 31, 2016."[54]
