If, at the hearing, the magistrate finds the defendant has failed to comply with any terms or conditions of the diversion agreement, the magistrate may authorize the prosecuting attorney to proceed with prosecution. The prosecution of a diverted offense shall not bar any independent prosecution arising from any offense that constituted a violation of any term or condition of the diversion agreement by which the original prosecution was diverted.
