He was arrested in the early hours of June 17.
The victim already had an intervention order out against him and Breewel was on a corrections order for offending against her.
Breewel returned to the Wodonga Magistrates Court on Wednesday for sentencing on charges including recklessly causing injuring, contravening a family violence intervention order, and intentionally damaging property.
He received a six-month jail term, which will be followed by a community corrections order.
