No, no you cannot. That makes you someone who broke a rule, not a rule breaker. There is some nuance to it which the English language is subpar at, but it’s the difference between something you are and something you did. Like being drunk VS being an alcoholic.

You’re a rule breaker if you have a pattern of breaking rules, not if you break literally one (percent of) rule.
