MILFORD -ÊMilford Town Marshal David Hobbs was authorized to return to unrestricted full-time duty Monday by the Milford Town Council.
Hobbs passed his last physical medical examination.
In June 1998, Hobbs was seriously injured when his motorcycle hit a pickup at the intersection of Armstrong Road and CR 350E, near Oswego. Hobbs was off duty at the time of the accident.
During the first week of January this year, Hobbs had his hip replaced.
