After releasing her, White took her phone and drove off in her car.
Police spotted him later, and during the pursuit, he reached speeds of approximately 94mph through the South Yorkshire countryside.
The chase ended when he collided with parked cars.
White has prior convictions for assault causing actual bodily harm and for battery against the same partner.
During the time of these offenses, he was disqualified from driving.
He was sentenced to 16 months imprisonment, with a one-year and 34-week driving ban and an order for an extended driving test.
Judge His Honour Reeds KC criticized his reckless driving and previous violent conduct.
