Topsham man arrested after alleged protection-order violation, home break-in
Barry Lubee, 46, was jailed without bail after deputies said a protection-order call on Foreside Road escalated into a neighbor-home break-in.
A Topsham man was arrested early Wednesday after police said a protection-order violation on Foreside Road escalated into an alleged forced entry into a neighbor’s home. Barry Lubee, 46, of Topsham, was taken into custody by the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office and was being held without bail.
The incident began Tuesday afternoon at a home on Foreside Road, where officers responded to a reported protection-order violation. By the time deputies arrived, the situation had moved beyond a court-order dispute and into burglary allegations, with police saying Lubee forced his way into a neighboring residence.
The case carried immediate neighborhood impact on Foreside Road, where a police response prompted a road closure and drew law-enforcement activity into a residential area. What started as an order-enforcement call became a visible public-safety operation, with the sheriff’s office handling the arrest in Androscoggin County rather than leaving the dispute as a private matter between neighbors.
Lubee faces multiple charges, including burglary and violating a protection order. The arrest on Feb. 5, 2025, left the case in the county justice system, where the allegations will be examined together as part of the same chain of events, from the reported protection-order violation to the alleged home break-in.
