Caleb Dixon is accused of rummaging through the Toobeah Hotel's till on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

Now he has shared a schooner with the owner of the hotel, five hours from Brisbane.<\/p>\n

The ashamed 19-year-old came forward after seeing his face and name plastered on social media.<\/p>\n

"I had a few too many beers, honestly, it was just random as, shouldn't have been done," he said in a video.<\/p>\n

"I'm not like that at all."<\/p>\n

The cowboy and an accomplice were seen on CCTV stumbling into the pub with a crowbar wearing Akubra-style hats.<\/p>\n

\"Caleb<\/p>\n

He's accused of taking off with up to $6000 worth of alcohol, cigarettes and cash.<\/p>\n

Dixon swears he'll return it all.<\/p>\n

Toobeah Hotel Motel owner Michael Offerdahl said it was "great to see some remorse."<\/p>\n

"He said they locked it when they left, so I thought that was pretty nice of him, I suppose," he said.<\/p>\n

"The boys just didn't have a plan. It was just really silly what they were obviously doing."<\/p>\n

Dixon has since been charged and will appear in court next month.<\/p>\n

Police are still looking to talk to his friend.<\/p>\n
