Skimming devices are used to illegally collect bank account and personal identification numbers from unsuspecting customers.
In January, investigators determined the DNA on the skimming device was a match for Saborit-Gomez and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Saborit-Gomez was arrested Tuesday and charged with unlawful interception, use, or disclosure of an electronic communication. That's a felony charge.
Jail records shows Saborit-Gomez has a criminal record in Travis County and that he has been placed on an immigration hold.
