(A) The court may upon a plea of guilty or a stipulation by the defendant of the facts supporting the charge, defer further proceedings and the imposition of a sentence, and enter an order for supervision of the defendant if the defendant is not charged with a felony and, having regard for the circumstances of the offense, and the history, character and condition of the offenders, the court is of the opinion that:
(1) The defendant is not likely to commit further crimes;
(2) The defendant and the public would best be served if the defendant were not to receive a criminal record;
(3) In the best interests of justice an order of supervision is more appropriate than a sentence otherwise permitted under this code.
(B) The court shall consider the statement of the prosecuting attorney with regard to the standards set forth in this section.
