Harrogate man Cieran Bamford has been jailed for 16 weeks.
Bamford, 31, of Knaresborough Road, pleaded guilty to making threats to a named woman who feared violence would be used against her when he appeared in court on Tuesday.
Court documents state the offence was “so serious because the defendant has a flagrant disregard for people and their property”.
Bamford was given a restraining order prohibiting contact with the victim until April 2028.
Magistrates in York also ordered him to pay £154 to victim services.

Thieves smash their way into Harrogate shop
Two thieves have smashed their way into an independent Harrogate shop and stolen cigars and whiskey.
The men, believed to be in their early 20s, used a stone to break a glass panel on the door of James Barber Tobacconist.
It is one of two shops on Cold Bath Road targeted by criminals already this month. In a separate incident last week, a man vandalised the Christmas lights outside hair salon Dangerfield & Keane.
Mr Barber has published CCTV footage of the break-in on his Instagram page in the hope it might lead to an arrest.
The incident happened in the early hours of November 1 and Mr Barber has decided to release the film now because the police investigation has yet to find the perpetrators.
The thieves also smashed a cabinet to get hold of the goods. One left when the alarm sounded.
Mr Barber estimated the crime had cost him £1,000 in repairs and loss of goods.
His Instagram post said:
Man suffers serious head injuries on Harrogate’s Bower Street“Until now these two are still out and about maybe looking for another opportunity to violate another business owner.
“Since it has been more than 10 days, we felt the need to warn all local businesses like us to be vigilant as we believe this can happen anytime. If anyone recognises these two please report it directly to the Harrogate police. Crime No.NYP-01112022-0012.”
A 32-year-old Harrogate man has been arrested following a reported assault on Bower Street.
Police were called by the ambulance service at 6.20pm on Saturday after the victim, a man in his fifties, was found with serious head injuries in the street.
The victim was taken to hospital where he remains in a serious condition.
The 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent. He has since been released on conditional police bail to allow for further enquiries to be carried out.
It was revealed last month that railings are to be installed on Bower Street in an attempt to reduce anti-social behaviour.
