Quite probably. This is because it is standard for the terms of a deferred prosecution to provide that during the time of the deferreal, the individual in question refrain from engaging in any criminal behavior. Otherwise, the terms will be considered to have been violated and it will be revoked. To be certain, read the documents that you were given concerning this. Otherwise, you can consult directly with a criminal law attorney in your area.
