Day.An arbitrator ruled Tuesday that the firings in May violated a union contract.
The Highway Patrol said Wednesday that Craig Franklin and Eric Wlodarsky will return to work within 30 days.
They also get back pay and benefits.
A patrol investigation found that Franklin had dressed in a white cone, mask and cloth, and that Wlodarsky sent a cell phone photo to a colleague.
The Ohio State Troopers Association's attorney Herschel Sigall said the incident was "stupid, but not vicious."
He criticized Gov. Ted Strickland for seeking the firings.

Back pay and benefits?! They should have been fired and made to pay the state back for the time wasted training them.
A 'prank' is one thing, but being in a position of authority does carry a tad more responsibility than these two nitwits showed.
Forcing the state to reinstate these two bozos is a crime in and of itself ... but paying them back pay and benefits is insane.
